Richmond Tigers vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
Saturday afternoon footy looks like it might deliver one of the games of the round with Richmond taking on Collingwood at the MCG.
Richmond have opened as favourites which is understandable but they’ve hardly been at their best this season while Collingwood have shown good signs.
Last time these two sides met it was Collingwood who scored a 16 point win over the Tigers.
I wouldn’t be taking $1.49 about Richmond here, I expect Collingwood to be in this for a long time but I am leaning towards the Tigers here.
Betting Update:
Great betting match this one with a number of curveballs this week changing the market.
The end result has seen Collingwood as the team that shortened ever so slighty. They got out to $2.90 before coming back into $2.65.
Richmond are at $1.48 after opening at $1.44.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Richmond Tigers to win at $1.48 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Jack Riewoldt at $9.50.
