Gold Coast vs. Melbourne Predictions

Best Bet

Melbourne +17.5 @ $1.90

Backing Melbourne after three consecutive losses isn’t easy, but we’re happy to take the +17.5 line against a Gold Coast team coming off three consecutive losses.

Melbourne lost to Port Adelaide two weeks ago before getting a bye, and that couldn’t have come at the right time. They needed a week break to recover, and they looked good earlier this season when posting wins over Brisbane and Sydney in consecutive weeks.

Beating last year’s finalists in back-to-back weeks is impressive, and although consistency hasn’t been easy for the Demons, they have enough talent to keep it close against a Gold Coast team coming off losses to GWS, Geelong, and Fremantle.

Getting +17.5 is a fair line with AFL odds, and it’s worth including in AFL multis.

Same Game Multi

Melbourne +17.5, Kysaiah Pickett 2+ Goals, Bayley Fritsch 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Over 172.5 @ $6.75

Goals could come freely in this game, so we’re including Kysaiah Pickett and Bayley Fritsch to score 2+ goals each. Pickett comes off consecutive three-goal games, so he’s playing well, and he is Melbourne’s best scoring chance.

Punters get $1.64 to include in AFL same game multi picks, and slightly better odds for Fritsch, who scored five goals in his last two games. They could spearhead the Melbourne offence, which could result in a high scoring game.

Over 172.5 points is being included in the multi, as there should be plenty of goals. They combined for 182 points when meeting in March, and most of their meetings have gone over the mark, so we’re confident of this bet.

Best Value Bet

Melbourne First Team to 25 Points @ $2.37

We expect a quick start for Melbourne, who could take a first quarter lead, but the safer bet is taking them first to 25 points.

Punters get $2.37 for the Demons to reach the 25-point mark first, and considering their scoring prowess, it has a great chance of cashing.
