West Coast vs. Brisbane Predictions

We have West Coast vs. Brisbane predictions for AFL Round 19 on Saturday, July 18 at 8:10pm at Optus Stadium.

It’s one of the most one-sided betting lines of the week as Brisbane are –44.5 favourites to hand West Coast another loss.

Brisbane –44.5 @ $1.90

West Coast has an awful record against teams riding a winning streak, so we don’t hold great hopes for them on Saturday. They are 0-24 in this category, and although that’s an outright statistic, it doesn’t bode well.

Brisbane is looking to follow up its premiership with another title, and given their recent form, they’re well on their way. They put up a 90-point winning margin against Essendon last week, and although West Coast is playing better than the Bombers, they’re still riding a losing streak.

It will take a big effort from West Coast to keep this game close. Their last two meetings have been close, but the Lions haven’t had a close game for a few weeks, and West Coast is unlikely to cope with the midfield pressure.

We’re picking Brisbane to win and cover the –44.5 spread. They should start well, and it will be tough for West Coast to stay with them in the second half.

Same Game Multi

Brisbane –44.5, Kai Lohmann 2+ Goals, Zac Bailey 2+ Goals, Total Points Over 169.5 @ $7.00

Bet Now

Punters have made good coin betting on Kai Lohmann recently, and we’re including him in our AFL SGM picks. He has 10 goals from his last three games, and the $1.87 odds to kick 2+ goals are too good to overlook.

The same goes for Zac Bailey, who has 2+ goals in his last four games. He kicked three goals against Geelong before adding two against Geelong, so the form is on the board. We have him kicking 2+ goals to boost multi bet payouts.

Our final score prediction has Brisbane winning 115-65, which is enough to secure the over. Include over 169.5 points in multis to increase the odds.

Best Value Bet

Will Ashcroft 2+ Goals @ $6.25

Bet Now

Will Ashcroft produced a big effort to kick three goals last week, and we’re riding the hot player.

It was his second time in his last four games with 2+ goals, so punters get value odds from bookmakers for a 2+ goal effort.

He’s a player who can get involved in the scoring, and West Coast’s defence isn’t tough to penetrate.
