GWS Giants vs Geelong Cats Preview
GWS Giants are coming off a big win over Adelaide last round and will be full of confidence heading this Saturday’s game against Geelong.
Geelong’s woes continued losing to Fremantle at home last round and if they can’t get over the line here there will be serious questions asked over whether they’ll play finals.
GWS are undoubtedly a better side when Toby Greene plays and I think we’ll see that here.
I’m backing the Giants to get up and really make things tough for Geelong.
Betting Update:
Punters are giving the GWS Giants a red hot chance in this game it seems.
The Giants opened at $2.10, they’ve shortened into $1.95 and could even start the game as favourites.
Geelong are out to $1.87, it looks like punters are really struggling to get their heads around this game.
Head To Head Bet
