North Melbourne vs. Geelong Predictions

Ended

We have North Melbourne vs. Geelong predictions for AFL Round 23 on Saturday, August 15 at 3:45pm at Marvel Stadium.

It’s an intriguing contest between the Kangaroos and Cats, where most of the money has come for the Cats to secure their spot inside the top eight.

Best Bet

North Melbourne +22.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

North Melbourne went through a rough patch, which effectively ended their chances of making the finals. However, we liked the way they bounced back with a dominant win over Western Bulldogs last week.

The 100-77 victory holds them in good stead against Geelong, and although the Cats are rolling after four consecutive wins, they’re due a loss. They had an easy win over Essendon last week, but this will be a much harder game.

We have North Melbourne giving Geelong a big scare. They were no match for Geelong earlier this season, but they’re better prepared for this contest. Scoring around 85-90 points should be enough to cover the +22.5 spread, so we’re confidently backing North Melbourne to come through for punters on Saturday.

Same Game Multi

North Melbourne +22.5, Paul Curtis 3+ Goals, Oliver Henry 2+ Goals, Total Points Over 178.5 @ $11.50

Bet Now

Paul Curtis has been a standout player for North Melbourne, scoring 14 goals from his last five games. He has given them a much-needed offensive injection, and punters get $3.10 for Curtis to kick 3+ goals against Geelong. Those odds are generous, and they provide a big boost to AFL SGM odds.

We also expect Oliver Henry to play well for Geelong. He has 13 goals from his last four games, which is an impressive feat. The $1.63 odds are worth including in multi bets, as it should be a high-scoring contest.

We’re also including over 178.5 points. They scored 221 points when they met in May, and it should be another high-scoring game at Marvel Stadium.

Best Value Bet

North Melbourne First Team to 50 Points @ $3.02

Bet Now

Our AFL predictions have North Melbourne getting off to a fast start, as they did when beating the Western Bulldogs last week.

It can take Geelong some time to get stuck into the contest, and a slow start could be enough for the Roos to post a solid early lead.

We have them getting to 50 points first, and the $3.02 odds are too good to turn down.
