Essendon Bombers vs Brisbane Lions Preview
Essendon started the season in the worst possible way last week, going down to Geelong by 66 points and it could have easily been worse.
It doesn’t get much easier for them here either, hosting the Brisbane Lions at Marvel Stadium on Saturday evening.
Brisbane won their opening round match against Port Adelaide but it wasn’t all that convincing.
There’s no way you could back Essendon after their round 1 performance though, Lions to win.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Brisbane Lions to win at $1.46 odds.
