Western Bulldogs v Sydney tips
Our AFL betting expert has examined the odds and found some value Bulldogs v Swans tips:
Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to kick a goal
Ugle Hagan will make his debut against a player he has been likened to in Lance Franklin, with this highlighting Dogs coach Luke Beveridge’s sense of theatre. Lets see if the young forward can live up to the hype. He is paying $1.42 to kick a goal with PlayUp Australia and is a strong leg for your same game multis.
Under 164.5 total points
The over/under mark looks a little high and we’re willing to go with it in this game, given its two good teams with good structures, which is when scoring has dried up in recent weeks. The clash is at Marvel Stadium, which can be a high-scoring ground, but we think this clash will be a good old fashioned slog.
Will Hayward to score 2+ goals
Young Swan Will Hayward has taken his game to new heights in 2021 and he is paying a juicy $2.80 to score multiple goals in this game. Hayward is the type of player you can forget about, but he suddenly pops up with a goal.
Western Bulldogs v Sydney Swans prediction 11/7/2021
This clash promises to be a beauty and we’re slightly surprised there has not been more love for the Swans, given how impressive they were against West Coast. The Bulldogs are lead superbly by Marcus Bontempelli and have a great midfield even without Adam Treloar and Josh Dunkley. They also play Marvel Stadium well, which is a ground some clubs struggle with, which has us leaning towards sticking with the favourites. Our final Western Bulldogs v Sydney prediction? Bulldogs by 11 points.
