Richmond Tigers vs Geelong Cats Preview
Friday night footy at the MCG doesn’t get much bigger than this, two of the top teams in the competition go head to head in what should be a belter.
Richmond bounced back last week with a good win and have opened as favourites for this game.
Geelong never should have lost to Sydney last week so they have a point to prove here but I don’t think they’re quite up for the challenge. Backing the Tigers to win.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Richmond Tigers to win at $1.67 odds.
