Preview:
North and Essendon are both coming off wins in round four and enter this marquee clash at Marvel Stadium full of confidence. A packed house is sure to be on hand on Good Friday, with the Bombers priced up as favourites. Wins against Melbourne and Brisbane have the Bombers back amongst the pack after a horror start, where they lost to the Giants and Saints. North picked up a gritty win against the Crows in an unattractive game last Saturday night, but a wins a win and they’re off the mark. The past 7 matches between the sides have been decided by 39 points or less, with more than 100 points scored by each side in their matches against one another in 2017 and 2018. It could be another high scoring game under the roof on Friday and it’s the Bombers who have the more threatening forward line, so The Wolf is going to back them to make it three in a row.
