Brisbane Lions vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
Fremantle had plenty of support last week in the Derby against West Coast but had their pants pulled down in a really disappointing performance.
Fortunately for them they get to stay in Perth this week and will host the Brisbane Lions at Optus Stadium.
The Lions have found their form and had a really impressive win over Port Adelaide last week.
On paper there is no doubt the Lions are the better team here. I’m backing them to win but in Perth you can never be to confident backing against the home side.
Market Update:
The Lions go into Sunday nights match as the heavily backed favourites at $1.22 after opening at $1.21 on Monday.
The Dockers have pretty much held their price throughout in a game that punters haven’t really wanted to get involved in.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Fremantle Dockers to win at $4.45 odds.
