Collingwood v North Melbourne betting tips, prediction & odds update; AFL Rd 13 preview

Welcome to our Collingwood v North Melbourne betting tips, prediction and odds update  for their AFL round 13 clash at the Gabba on Monday night. 

The Magpies are sitting in eighth place on the AFL ladder after a disappointing run of form that has had them slip out of premiership calculations, including a horror 10-goal loss to mid-table Melbourne in their last outing.

Meanwhile, things are even worse for Rhyce Shaw’s Roos, who are in full rebuild mode and sitting 17th on the ladder, above only winless Adelaide.

They suffered bad losses against Geelong and Melbourne, before finding some form last round in a one-point loss to the Brisbane Lions.

Both these teams came into the season with high expectations but the injury gods have largely cruelled their seasons.

In their only meeting in the 2019 season, North Melbourne pummeled the Magpies by 44 points, with Jack Ziebell kicking three goals. Alas captain Ziebell is missing injured, as are a stack of other stars.

Collingwood v North Melbourne prediction 24/8/2020

Collingwood were just too bad to be true last round and before that they struggled to beat cellar dwellers Adelaide and Sydney Swans. But they should benefit from finally getting a decent break between games and we will give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they regain something like passable form here. If they can’t beat North Melbourne at the Gabba, their season is as good as done. Our final Collingwood v North Melbourne prediction? Magpies by 13 points.
