Essendon Bombers vs Sydney Swans Preview
Essendon seem to be in denial at the moment. After a good win over St Kilda a fortnight ago they backed it up with a embarrassing loss to West Coast last round.
This week they take on Sydney, a team they’ve struggled to beat for quite a while now.
The Swans had a bit of a training drill against St Kilda last week and should have no trouble getting the points against Essendon in this game.
Betting Update:
Sydney still hold a firm grip over the market in this game but there has been support for Essendon this week.
The Bombers got out to $3.70 during the week but have since shortened into $2.95.
Sydney sit at $1.42 with Ladbrokes, out from a low of $1.28 earlier in the week.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Sydney Swans to win at $1.42 odds.
