The Melbourne Cricket Ground will play host to the round 17 matchup of the Australian Football League, which will see the Richmond Tigers take on the Sydney Swans. The Richmond Tigers were defeated by the Brisbane Lions in their most recent match, while the Sydney Swans and the Geelong Cats had an exciting match that ended in a draw.

The Richmond Tigers' most recent encounter was extremely disheartening because they were unable to ever really get going, and as a result, they fell to the Brisbane Lions by a score of 134-53. Disappointingly, the Tigers were not able to reach within striking distance of their competitors, even though the Brisbane Lions are now playing very well. This loss put a stop to a streak of three consecutive wins, the most recent of which saw them defeat the St. Kilda Saints 90-70 in an impressive performance against the team that is presently ranked fifth on the leaderboard. The Richmond Tigers have been successful at home, winning three of their previous four games, so they should feel confident in their ability to win their fourth consecutive game. Dustin Martin is expected to make his return for the Tigers' match against the Swans. Jacob Bauer and Sam Banks may also make their debuts for the Tigers, although Jayden Short is most likely going to sit this one out.
Sydney Swans - Swans confident of turning draw to win
In spite of the fact that they were unable to win the game outright against the Geelong Cats, the Sydney Swans were able to compete on an equal footing with their rivals and earn a 54-54 tie. After their incredible victory over the West Coast Eagles in a match that ended 205-34, the Sydney Swans have now gone two games without a loss. While the Sydney Swans have not been performing well as of late, they have won only one of their previous four games played away from home, and they have only three wins in a total of seven games played away from home this season. The Sydney Swans have accumulated 26 points from their last 15 matches, placing them in the 13th position on the AFL ladder.
Expert Betting Tips
I anticipate a close contest between these two teams, which are in many respects on a similar playing field. Also, taking into account the results of their previous matchups, we believe that there will be a lot of points scored in this game; therefore, we will be betting on the over. Despite the fact that I'm rooting for the Richmond Tigers to win while they get the advantage of home turf, I believe the final score will be extremely close.
