Western Bulldogs vs. Fremantle Predictions

We have Western Bulldogs vs. Fremantle predictions for AFL Round 8 on Friday, May 1 at 7:30pm at Marvel Stadium.

Punters get another great game to bet on in Round 8, and the Western Bulldogs could pull off an upset.

Best Bet

Western Bulldogs +20.5 @ $1.90

Life has suddenly gotten much tougher for the Bulldogs after losing three games on the bounce, but we’re giving them one last chance to turn things around.

They looked good earlier this season when beating Essendon and Adelaide, but losses to Hawthorn, Geelong, and Sydney have showcased their lack of ability against the top teams in the competition. That’s a concern when facing Fremantle, but they’re due for a good game.

Fremantle is playing well, but its last two games came against West Coast and Carlton, and the Dockers could be slow to start against a harder team. As much as the Bulldogs are due for a win, Fremantle is a due a loss, so getting a +20.5 line is ideal for punters.

This could be the upset game of Round 8, so take the value.

Western Bulldogs +20.5, Marcus Bontempelli 2+ Goals, Aaron Naughton 2+ Goals, Total Points Over 185.5 @ $9.50

Despite not winning last week, it was great seeing Marcus Bontempelli at his best with two goals. He was under an injury cloud before the game, but he should only grow stronger as the season progresses. The $2.70 odds for him to score 2+ goals are too good to pass up.

The Bulldogs could also do with a good scoring performance from Aaron Naughton, who was limited to only one goal last week. He has three three-goal games from his last five matches, so he is worth including in AFL SGM picks.

Over 185.5 is a good addition, with these teams scoring 209 points in their latest meeting.

Best Value Bet

Western Bulldogs Halftime/Fulltime @ $4.10

If we’re going to pick an upset at $3.10 odds, we want to maximise the value. Therefore, our AFL predictions have the Bulldogs winning at halftime and fulltime.

A fast start is needed to boost team morale, and if they don’t start well, they could struggle to play catch-up against a good front-running team.

The $4.10 odds are juicy, so take the underdog to pull off the upset.
