St Kilda Saints vs Essendon Bombers Odds

St Kilda Saints vs Essendon Bombers Preview

Time is quickly running out for the Bombers as they find themselves among a desperate group of teams fighting for a spot in the eight.

The Dons blew a four-goal lead against the Giants last week in their narrow four-point loss, their second straight defeat after failing to turn up against the Lions a week earlier.

Speaking of bouncing back, the Saints also have some work to do following a lacklustre effort against Geelong last Monday night.

The loss leaves St Kilda back outside the top four, but there is plenty to like about the Saints from a betting perspective.

Brett Ratten’s side has played to a 4-2 record on the back of a previous loss over the last 12 months and they should feel a little more confident this week with a game at the Gabba under their belt.

It’s tough to know what to make of the Bombers right now. Their pressure was great last week in the first half, but there still seems to be a lack of execution when it comes to the game plan.

Both sides are averaging exactly 9.3 goals against to opponents this year, so there is a chance this one turns out to be rather close.

The Saints won by 11-points when these two sides met in Round 2 last year and with plenty on the line for both clubs, we’re tipping a similar result.
