Gold Coast vs. Collingwood Predictions

We have Gold Coast vs. Collingwood predictions for AFL Round 17 on Saturday, July 4 at 4:15pm at People First Stadium.

Gold Coast are $1.62 favourites despite riding a losing streak, which could continue against a Collingwood team coming off consecutive wins.

Best Bet

Collingwood @ $2.31

Bet Now

Gold Coast has a 2-0 recent record against Collingwood at People First Stadium, but we have Collingwood breaking that trend.

The SUNS aren’t playing good footy after losing 80-29 to Fremantle last week, and the lack of attack is a big worry. They scored only 60 points in a loss to Geelong, and Collingwood could take their opportunity to score a big road win.

The Magpies suffered back-to-back losses to the Bulldogs and Demons, but we love the way they bounced back with wins over Port Adelaide and Richmond. Beating Richmond isn’t a great form guide, but it was a one-sided victory.

We don’t think there is much between Gold Coast and Collingwood, but if this game was being played in Melbourne, Collingwood would be $1.60 favourites, so we’re happy to take the risk at the $2.31 odds.

Same Game Multi

Collingwood H2H, Nick Daicos 2+ Goals, Tim Membrey 2+ Goals, Total Points Over 173.5 @ $8.75

Bet Now

Nick Daicos lived up to expectations last week with a three-goal performance, and we’re happy to include him in our AFL bets. He has three 2+ goal games from his last three matches, so he’s a form player.

Tim Membrey has five goals in his last two games, and punters get $2.20 from bookmakers. It’s a good price for a form player, and it should be a high-scoring contest, and he’ll get his chance to slot a couple of goals.

Over 173.5 points is worth including in AFL picks this week. Our final score prediction has Collingwood winning 92-86.

Best Value Bet

Steele Sidebottom 20+ Disposals @ $3.11

Bet Now

Steele Sidebottom has only one 20+ disposal game in his last five matches, but he could have a big game for Collingwood on Saturday.

The experienced Magpie had 25 disposals in a win over Port Adelaide in Round 15, and although he had only 17 last week, he should be more active against a struggling Gold Coast team.

The $3.11 odds are better than expected, so include him in picks as a value bet.
