Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane Lions Prediction: Can Bulldogs halt Lions’ reign?

At Norwood Oval, the Western Bulldogs will play the Brisbane Lions in round five of the Australian Football League. The two teams head into this game hoping for a win but the Lions are favourites. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Western Bulldogs

The Western Bulldogs were on the road against the Fremantle Dockers the previous weekend and they lost. However, that defeat was the Bulldogs’ second this season, having lost to the Collingwood Magpies in their second game of the season. Ahead of this game, Western Bulldogs wins have come against the poor North Melbourne Kangaroos and the Carlton Blues. Ahead of this game, the Western Bulldogs sit 10th in the standings with a 100.58 percentile.

Brisbane Lions

The Brisbane Lions have been amazing this season and they will go into this game hoping for another win. The previous weekend, this team took on the Richmond Tigers and they secured a 90-118 win. In that encounter, the Lions won the first three quarters, and despite losing 28-14 in the final quarter, it could not change the outcome of the game. Ahead of this game, the Brisbane Lions have won their first four games of the season, defeating the Geelong Cats and Sydney Swans in that run.

Expert Betting Tips

The Western Bulldogs have shown quality and hunger this season, and they deserve a win in this fixture. While the Brisbane Lions remain unbeaten this season, their performances have also been convincing, making them a good option here. This will be a very competitive contest, but the Western Bulldogs have played at a competitive level, and I feel they will get within the line here.
