Melbourne Demons vs Geelong Cats Preview
The Preliminary Finals will kick off on Friday night with a huge game between Melbourne and Geelong at Optus Stadium.
These two teasm met just a few weeks back and it was Melbourne who recorded an incredible come from behind win that saw them finish on top of the ladder.
Geelong did dominate for the first 3 quarters of that game though so it’s hard to get a good read on this game.
Melbourne have had the advantage of a week off heading into this game and look to be the team to beat at the moment.
Backing the Dees to get the job done here, should be a cracking game though.
Market Update: Not a lot of change in the market this week with punters maybe waiting for the final hours before backing either side.
Melbourne remain the clear favourites at $1.50, Geelong look to be okay value at $2.60 though.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Demons to win at $1.50 odds.
