Western Bulldogs vs. Brisbane Predictions
—
Best Bet
Brisbane 1-39 @ $2.10
Brisbane is riding a nine-game winning streak, encompassing last year’s Grand Final, so it will be tough for the Western Bulldogs to put an end to it.
Inconsistency has plagued the Bulldogs, who haven’t strung two wins together. They come off a 97-81 loss to Fremantle, which is why we’re backing the Lions to win 1-39, which pays a healthy $2.10 with bookmakers.
Despite being 4-0, Brisbane hasn’t been able to put teams away by a big margin. It only defeated Richmond 118-90 last week, and the West Coast Eagles 94-75, which adds weight to our 1-39 bet, as it’s unlikely to beat the Bulldogs by 40+ points.

Brisbane H2H, Charlie Cameron 2+ Goals, Josh Dunkley 25+ Disposals, Total Match Points Under 170.5 @ $7.00
Punters should expect a good scoring performance from Charlie Cameron, who has the most reliable goal scorer for the Lions. He has seven goals from four games in 2025, and he scored three goals against Richmond last week.
Josh Dunkley is set for a big game. He had 30 disposals last week, and he has totals of 27, 23, 26, and 30 this year. There has been good money come for Dunkley 25+ disposals, which has been backed into $1.53, and he’s worth including in AFL same game multi bets.
We’re also including Brisbane to win outright and under 170.5. It should be a tight contest with plenty of contested possessions, which could drain the clock. Brisbane has no problem winning 85-75, and that’s the type of game was envision.

Either Team by 15 or Less @ $2.70
We are banking on this game being close, and although we would love Brisbane to prevail, there is good value with this option. It should be decided by less than two goals, and punters get a bit of insurance with the 15-point line.
The perfect outcome is Brisbane winning by less than 15 points, but if the Western Bulldogs were to get up narrowly, at least punters would get a nice saver bet at value odds. We can’t see the Bulldogs winning by more than 15 points, so include this option in your AFL predictions.
