St Kilda Saints vs Essendon Bombers Odds
St Kilda Saints vs Essendon Bombers Preview
Could we be looking at the match of the round? St Kilda are flying at the moment and with every win it gets harder to dismiss them as a premiership threat.
Essendon on the other hand are playing some horrible football but cant afford to lose anymore games or risk missing the finals.
St Kilda are easily the better of the two sides at the moment and although an upset wouldn’t surprise us here it’s hard to tip against the Saints currently.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping St Kilda to win at $1.45 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Dan Butler at $9.50.
