Essendon vs Carlton: Predictions, Odds & Betting Tips

Essendon take on Carlton at MCG this Sunday. Here is everything you need to know before you bet.

So fitting that these two sides should meet after what has transpired off the field over the last few weeks. After sacking Michael Voss, suddenly, the Blues are back in the Wild Card conversation after rattling off a stunning third straight win last week against Geelong, while Bombers fans failed to receive the same shot in the arm with their side going down by a big margin to West Coast following the midweek firing of Brad Scott. Essendon’s injury list remains a mile long, and with plenty of distractions around James Hird happening on the sideline, the Blues should be stretching their winning streak to four on the trot so long as they take the Bombers seriously.

Tip: Carlton 1-39 @ $2.20
