Geelong Football Club vs Melbourne Football Club Prediction: A Duel Between Two Top Teams

The upcoming fixture will be played between Geelong Football Club and Melbourne Football Club. Both teams have occupied top spots in the points table and are the favorites for making it to the qualifiers. With Geelong playing at home, they will be the absolute favorites for winning against Melbourne.

Geelong Football Club (WWWWW) - Favorites at Home

Going in the game, Geelong will be the favorites to win. In their last game, Geelong won over North Melbourne (144-32). That was a commanding and one sided win for the home side. Geelong Cats have much to cherish about as they are coming off a stunning win against North Melbourne. Before that Geelong managed to defeat Richmond Tigers (89-86) and West Coast Eagles (63-81), which was their away fixture. Their five consecutive wins were against Western Bulldogs (70-83) and Adelaide Crows (97-55). 

Melbourne Football Club - Looking to Mark their Third Consecutive Win (WWLLL)

Melbourne are coming off a scintillating win against Adelaide Crows (65-94) which was quite a pivotal win for the Demons. After losing to Collingwood Magpies (82-56), Sydney Swans (61-73), and Fremantle Dockers (94-56), Melbourne won against Brisbane Lions (117-53). The win over Brisbane Lions was quite tremendous as that win gave Melbourne a decent advantage. 

Expert Betting Tips

With just four points separating the two teams at the top of the standings, the matchup between the two should be an exciting one. However, given their season-long form, it may go any way. After destroying North Melbourne last week, the Cats have won six straight, while the Demons have now won two straight after defeating the Adelaide Crows. The Demons have won the last three meetings between these teams, so the defending champions will be hoping to continue that streak. However, the Cats' recent form cannot be discounted, so they are the tentative pick in this matchup. Whichever team wins, however, should do so by a margin of 1-39 points.
