AFL Round 13 2026 Expert Tips & Predictions

The AFL continues this week with Round 13 action, starting with Adelaide vs. Geelong on Thursday night.

We have AFL betting tips for every game in 2026, including this week’s featured games between Hawthorn vs. Western Bulldogs, Gold Coast vs. Brisbane, and Collingwood vs. Melbourne.

Thursday 4/6/26

7:30pm Adelaide vs. Geelong @ Adelaide Oval

Betting Tip: Geelong –8.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

Geelong was shocked by Carlton last week with a late goal, but the best way to rebound is by beating Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval.

The Cats might not have won, but they played well in a quality contest, and we expect the –8.5 line to move to around –10.5 at game time.

They should be too strong for the Crows, who are a good team, but could lack the midfield presence of the Cats.

Friday 5/6/26

7:40pm Hawthorn vs. Western Bulldogs @ MCG

Betting Tip: Hawthorn –21.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Hawks got back to their best last week, and they should confirm their top 4 spot with another victory over the Western Bulldogs.

They currently sit in third, and they’re a title threat when they put everything together, which is what we expect this Friday night.

Bookmakers have 21.5 points between them, and Hawthorn could produce one of their best wins this season.

Hawthorn by 29

Saturday 6/6/26

2:15pm North Melbourne vs. Fremantle @ Hands Oval

Betting Tip: Fremantle –24.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

We snapped up the generous odds for Fremantle last week against Brisbane, and they didn’t let us down.

Punters get another value line this week against North Melbourne, and we don’t think the Dockers are getting the respect they deserve as the holders of the top spot on the AFL ladder.

The Kangaroos have improved, but not enough to keep it close against a Dockers team enjoying a lengthy winning streak.

Fremantle by 40

5:15pm Gold Coast vs. Brisbane @ People First Stadium

Betting Tip: Brisbane @ $2.28

BET NOW

The Lions are typically a good bet when they’re underdogs, and although they’re going through a rough patch, we don’t have full faith in Gold Coast.

The SUNS sit in fifth on the ladder, which is a good place to be. However, they often lose important games, and this is an important contest on Saturday afternoon.

There is value in backing Brisbane at $2.28, so they’re worth including in AFL picks this week.

Brisbane by 6

8:15pm West Coast vs. Port Adelaide @ Optus Stadium

Betting Tip: West Coast +10.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

West Coast is starting to build confidence after beating Essendon easily last week, and that’s reflected in betting markets.

The Eagles are only +10.5 underdogs against Port Adelaide, and playing at home should give them the boost needed to score an upset.

There is value with the $2.46 head-to-head odds but take the +10.5 for safety.

West Coast by 8

Sunday 7/6/26

7:20pm Essendon vs. Carlton @ MCG

Betting Tip: Carlton –30.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

We have given Essendon a few chances lately without success, but it could be time to drop them from selections.

They’re not playing well after losing heavily to West Coast, and with Carlton amid a form turnaround, they’re playing too good for Essendon to handle.

The –30.5 line is significant, but after beating Geelong, we’re not surprised.

Carlton by 35

Monday 8/6/26

3:15pm Collingwood vs. Melbourne @ MCG

Betting Tip: Collingwood @ $1.90

BET NOW

There is nothing between Collingwood and Melbourne with AFL odds, but despite picking Melbourne often this year, we’re going with Collingwood.

The Demons looked fatigued when playing in Alice Springs last week, and they might not have enough time to recover.

Collingwood should be fresh and ready to perform, so the $1.90 is a fair price.
