Gold Coast vs. Richmond Predictions

Best Bet
Gold Coast produced its best win of the year when beating Brisbane 130-64 last week, and another big win is likely against Richmond.
The Tigers haven’t been playing too poorly recently, having lost to Collingwood by only 36 points. However, the SUNS have been explosive at home, and they’re good enough to put up a big score on the Tigers.
With 12 wins and six losses, the SUNS are a little unlucky to be in eighth spot on the AFL ladder. A win over teams like Richmond is needed to see them improve on the ladder, so they won’t let their foot off the gas this Saturday.

Same Game Multi
Backing the Bens is a good way to make money with the Gold Coast SUNS, so we’re including Ben King and Ben Long to score 3+ goals.
King scored only two goals last week, but he was happy to let his teammates carry the load. They had many 3+ goal scorers last week against Brisbane, but King is likely to have great success against Richmond.
Long is also likely to have a big game after kicking four goals last week. He is paying $2.65 to kick 3+ goals, which is a much better price than expected. That’s our best value pick of the game, so he should boost payouts.

Best Value Bet
Getting $2.65 for Long to score 3+ goals is excellent shopping. He bounced back from some moderate scoring performances with four goals last week, which should get his confidence levels soaring.
Gold Coast should get ample scoring opportunities on Saturday, and Long should cash in for punters. Take the odds before they firm during the week, and anything better than $2.50 is a good price.
