Fremantle vs. Essendon |
 |
Fremantle stayed home last week against North Melbourne at Optus Stadium, avoiding travel. The Dockers almost stumbled in that game, likely erasing any complacency. They face Essendon next, a team that has only covered the line twice in its last eight away games against the Dockers. Essendon’s recent record as the away underdog against Fremantle stands at 2-7. Fremantle enters this game on a four-game winning streak, while Essendon has lost their last four away games. With 1.19 head-to-head odds seeming short, a winning margin market is preferable. Essendon last lost by 40+ to Fremantle in Perth in 2016. Despite some heavy defeats this season, Essendon tends to perform better in the following round. I recommend backing Fremantle 1-39 at 2.15 (Dabble). For less risk, consider Essendon +39.5 at 1.50 (bet365).
Additional interesting markets include the first two quarters and the first half. Fremantle has gone 4-1 in both the first quarter and first half at home this season, while Essendon is 1-6 in both away. Essendon has struggled particularly in the first quarter, trailing by 13+ in eight of nine cases. In the second quarter, however, Fremantle is 2-3 at home, while Essendon is 5-2 away. Therefore, Fremantle winning the first quarter at 1.37 is arguably safer than winning the first half at 1.25. When paired with the above bets, two same-game multi options are:
Fremantle to win the first quarter / Fremantle 1-39 at 2.90 (bet365)
Fremantle to win the first quarter / Essendon +38.5 at 2.50 (<a
