Western Bulldogs vs. Melbourne Predictions

We have Western Bulldogs vs. Melbourne predictions for AFL Round 11 on Sunday, May 24 at 3:15pm at Marvel Stadium.

A close game is expected between the Bulldogs and Demons, with most of the late money coming for Melbourne.

Best Bet

Melbourne –4.5 @ $1.90

Melbourne is one of our best AFL bets of the week, and they should be far too good for the struggling Bulldogs, who have drifted with bookmakers throughout the week.

We priced Melbourne at –12.5, so we’re jumping on the line for a team that has four wins from their last five games, including a powerful 120-81 win over Hawthorn last week. That’s one of their best wins in recent years, and they should be full of confidence.

A team that’s not playing with confidence are the Bulldogs, who have only one win against Port Adelaide in their last five games. They have since lost to Carlton, which isn’t a good form guide, and they could struggle to cope with the in-form Demons.

Take the –4.5 line before more money comes for Melbourne throughout the week.

Same Game Multi

Melbourne –4.5, Jacob van Rooyen 2+ Goals, Kysaiah Pickett 2+ Goals, Total Points Over 188.5 @ $8.00

Bet Now

We keep backing Jacob van Rooyen and Kysaiah Pickett, and they don’t let us down very often. They both scored two goals last week, and they should kick doubles again.

Van Rooyen has nine goals from his last three games, and it’s no surprise that Melbourne’s form has improved when he’s kicking goals. The same goes for Pickett, who loves to kick on the run, and punters get $2.20 for him to kick 2+ goals.

We predict a high-scoring game, which could be the most points of the week. Our AFL SGM picks include over 188.5 points to boost payouts.

Best Value Bet

Melbourne Wire-to-Wire @ $2.70

Bet Now

Given the low confidence levels of the Bulldogs, Melbourne could jump on them early and put the game to bed in the first quarter.

If Melbourne takes a first-quarter lead, we don’t think they’ll be run down. This game could come down attitude, and the Bulldogs have their heads down.

Take the $2.70 odds for a wire-to-wire win for Melbourne, who could break the game open early in the contest.
