Carlton vs. Gold Coast Predictions
—
Best Bet
The only loss for Gold Coast over the last five weeks came against Adelaide, and the SUNS bounced back with wins over Brisbane and Richmond. Beating Brisbane was a terrific performance, and they limited the Tigers to only 23 points last week.
Something similar defensively will make it very tough for Carlton to stay in the hunt, which is why AFL odds have the Blues at big odds to win. They showed up last week against Fremantle, but their second half performance was disappointing.
Gold Coast should jump on them early and build a sizable halftime lead before covering the spread easily.

Same Game Multi
Ben Long isn’t paying massive odds to score 2+ goals, but after scoring six goals from his last two games, he should be a good thing to kick 2+ goals. We’re taking the $1.58 and include him in our Carlton vs Gold Coast SGM bets.
We also like the better value for Bailey Humphrey to kick two goals. He comes off back-to-back three-goal games, so getting $2.15 is a great price to include in multis. He is growing on confidence, and he can cope with Carlton’s aggressive midfield.
Under 171.5 points is worth including in multis. Carlton could struggle to score points, and Gold Coast’s defence was on fire last week.

Best Value Bet
Ben King is a strong goal kicking option for Gold Coast, and he comes off a four-goal performance against Richmond.
The SUNS forward always puts himself in position to take the mark and score the opening goal from a set shot, and that’s why we predict happening on Saturday night.
Punters get $7.25, which is a handsome price for their main kicking option.
