Greater Western Sydney Giants vs Sydney Swans Preview
This Sydney side is something special and they continue to surprise me. Last week they upset the Western Bulldogs on their home ground and it caught a lot of peoples attention.
This week they take on cross-town rivals the GWS Giants but due the to covid situation in Sydney this game will be played in Ballarat.
The Giants played at this ground last week and it’s sure to be some kind of advantage, but they did lose that game to Gold Coast so it would be brave to tip them here.
Sticking with Sydney but I’d be cautious about this game, the Giants have won plenty of games they weren’t expected to win this season.
Market Update: At the start of the week these two Sydney teams were based in Melbourne, now they’re in Queensland and will play at Metricon Stadium.
There hasn’t been a heap of movement in the market for this one. The Giants did get out to $2.72 at one stage but are back into $2.52. Sydney remain the clear favourites for this game at $1.53.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Sydney Swans to win at $1.53 odds.
