Brisbane Lions vs Essendon Bombers Preview
Brisbane Lions had a much needed win over the Western Bulldogs last round but they’re going to need to be sharp and make sure they don’t slip up against Essendon this week.
The Bombers made the most of their chance against Sydney last week and it saw them record a rare win for the season.
Brisbane are clearly the better team here but Essendon will pride themselves on shaking up the top 8 as the season nears an end.
Have to back Brisbane at home but this is definitely a risky game for the Lions.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Brisbane Lions to win at $1.30 odds.
