Western Bulldogs vs. Richmond Predictions - AFL Round 20 2026

We have Western Bulldogs vs. Richmond predictions for AFL Round 20 on Saturday, July 25 at 7:40pm at Marvel Stadium.

The Bulldogs are skinny favourites at $1.10 to hand Richmond another loss, and it could be a one-sided game to close out Super Saturday.

Best Bet

Western Bulldogs –41.5 @ $1.90

Richmond is 0-11 in its last 11 road games at Marvel Stadium, and we can’t see that record being turned around any time soon.

That leaves the Bulldogs with a good chance to produce a big win, and they looked good when beating Gold Coast last week. That was always going to be a tough game on the road, but they came through it with a quality outing.

Covering a –41.5 line isn’t easy, but we gave Richmond a chance last week against Hawthorn, and they let us down in the worst way. It was a dour performance from the Tigers, who might have put the cue in the rack for the year.

It should be a dominant win from the Bulldogs, so include the –41.5 line in AFL picks this week.

Same Game Multi

Western Bulldogs –41.5, Aaron Naughton 3+ Goals, Marcus Bontempelli 2+ Goals, Total Points Under 171.5 @ $7.50

Aaron Naughton has a good chance to have a big game after scoring just one goal last week. He’s capable of putting up big numbers, as he showed when kicking five goals against West Coast, so include him to kick 3+ goals this week.

Punters have gotten good value from betting on Marcus Bontempelli. He keeps going under the radar as a goal kicking threat, and he has five goals in his last two games. The $2.02 odds to kick 2+ goals this week are too good to pass up.

We don’t see Richmond scoring too many points, so we’re taking the under. They could score around 50 points, and our final score prediction is 110-50 in favour of the Bulldogs.

Best Value Bet

Matthew Kennedy 2+ Goals @ $5.00

Matthew Kennedy had a breakout performance for the Bulldogs last week when kicking three goals, and he could keep that momentum going.

The 29-year-old enjoys getting stuck into the action, and although he’s not close to the top of the market, he deserves respect after his performance against Gold Coast.

The $5 odds make him worth including as an AFL value bet.
