Essendon Bombers vs Adelaide Crows Prediction: Can the Crows make it two wins in two games?

Marvel Stadium will host the Australian Football League encounter between Essendon Bombers and Adelaide Crows. The two teams are coming off a contrasting result with the Crows winning. Can the Essendon Bombers secure their first win of the season? Below, I will preview this game and offer free betting options. 

Essendon Bombers

The Essendon Bombers opened their season against the Hawthorn Hawks the previous weekend and lost. In a 111-85 contest, this team had a very poor start, and despite a better performance in the last two quarters, they could not cover the deficit at full time. However, despite winning their AAMI Community encounter against the Geelong Cats, the Essendon Bombers saw prior encounters also end in defeat. In that run, they played Gold Coast Suns, Sydney Swans, and Brisbane Lions. 

Adelaide Crows

Adelaide Crows played the St Kilda Saints in their league opener and won. In a 135-72, this team showed character, winning each of the quarters, ending 44-14, 20-13, 45-22, and 26-23. However, the Adelaide Crows have now made it two consecutive wins, having defeated the Brisbane Lions in the preseason. In the meantime, the last game in this fixture was the first win for the Adelaide Crows in this fixture since 2018. In that run, the Adelaide Crows lost seven times, even though the majority of the fixtures were close. Ahead of this game, the Adelaide Crows sit 5th in the standings with four points and a 187.50 percentile. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Essendon Bombers will have their chances at home, and I believe they can be a problem for this Crows side. However, I feel the visiting team should prove themselves once again, having ended the Bombers dominance the last time. The two teams should make a point here, as I believe this will be an offensively focused game, but at full time, the Crows will edge.
