West Coast Eagles vs Sydney Swans Preview
Good Friday footy heads to Perth for this blockbuster between West Coast and Sydney.
The Eagles had a sensational win over Collingwood last week but it come at a cost with Nic Nat going down with a serious injury that will see him miss half the season.
The Swans just got over the line against North Melbourne which probably doesn’t give punters too much confidence with this game.
I think Sydney will win but it’s a long way to travel and after last week I’m far from confident.
Betting Update:
Plenty of interest in this game it seems with both teams\ being backed throughout the week.
West Coast are into $2.40, punters could get as much as $2.65 about them when markets opened.
Sydney opened at $1.48 which was too short for a road trip to the West. They’re now out to $1.58 which seems like a better price for them.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Sydney Swans to win at $1.58 odds.
