There should be plenty of points when these two sides meet under the roof at Marvel Stadium on Friday night.
Best Bet
There should be plenty of points in this one. Both teams have plenty of scoring power but can be vulnerable defensively.
The Lions forwards started the season in terrible form and while poor kicking has continued to plague them, they have been much better on the scoring front of late with (10.15) 75, 163, 90 and (10.19) 79 in their last four games. The over has now hit in four of their last five.
The over has also been a big trend of late for the Dogs, having hit in five of their last six with only a rain hit game in Sydney being the exception. They have been involved in plenty of high scoring games at Marvel, with the last four here hitting the over.
Defensively the Dogs remain vulnerable to good sides. They’ve given up 109 to the Dees, 95 to the Cats, 96 to Essendon, 95 to Freo, 98 to Hawthorn, 102 to Sydney and 82 to a Collingwood side last week with half its forward line missing.
With the total set at a very gettable 170.5, the over looks an outstanding play.

Rory Lobb and Eric Hipwood aren’t exactly two blokes you would want next to you in the trenches, but they should have every chance to hit the scoreboard in a game that should produce plenty of goal scoring opportunities. Charlie Cameron should get his chance as well.
Value Bet
Keeping with our prior theme, this one could easily go well over the total and the double ton looks a juicy price in this one.
