The Suns are coming off a wire to wire win over the Bulldogs and are yet to suffer consecutive defeats this season. The Hawks extended their win streak to three games and have won those games by an average of 50ppg. The Suns have won 4 of the last 5 meetings which includes a 67-point in their most recent clash at TIO Stadium in 2022. This may be taking place at a neutral venue, but the Suns are notably 5-2 both straight up and at the line in the last 7 meetings as the betting favourite.

Their last win at the SCG came back in 2019 and the home team has won 14 of the last 17 matches in this series. The Swans have won and covered the last three clashes as the home team and have taken the points in 10 of the last 12 as a home favourite. The Under is 3-0 in the Blues last 3 games with an average of 156.3 total match points in those games.

The Over has hit in all but one of those games and is 10-3 in Bulldogs games played in the last year. There is more support for the home side as they have won 7 of their last 9 as a home favourite and have covered the line in 67% of those games. If that is not enough, the Bomber have a 2-8 line record in their last 10 following a win.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"teams-tip-button\">\t\t\t\n          <a class=\"track-me btn-standard bet-now-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/sports\/australian-rules\/afl\/western-bulldogs-vs-essendon\/3d9ca686-a9c8-46b0-bf7e-2d9c3d63683c\" target=\"_blank\" \n          data-tr-event=\"blog\" data-tr-method=\"bet now button\" data-tr-action=\"open sport_event\" data-tr-label=\"3d9ca686-a9c8-46b0-bf7e-2d9c3d63683c\" data-tr-event-id=\"3d9ca686-a9c8-46b0-bf7e-2d9c3d63683c\"  \n          >Bet Now<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"entain-block teams-tip-block hoverable\">\n  <div class=\"teams-tip-header\">\n    <div class=\"teams-tip-header-meta\">\n      <!--div class=\"teams-tip-header-meta__inner\"-->\n        <div class=\"team-vs-team\" style=\"display:flex\">\n          <span class=\"icon\"><svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" fill=\"currentColor\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\"><!----><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/punters\/wp-content\/themes\/punters\/assets\/brand-icons\/tabnz\/svg-sports-afl-icon.svg?v=20260707b#richmond-tigers\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n          <div style=\"display:flex; flex-direction:row; flex-wrap:wrap; justify-content:center; align-items:center; text-align:center; column-gap:5px; font-weight: 700\">\n            <div class=\"team_1\" style=\"flex-direction:column;\">Richmond<\/div>\n            <div class=\"versus\" style=\"font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;\">vs<\/div>\n            <div class=\"team_2\">North Melbourne<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"info\">3:10pm, Sunday | MCG,  Melbourne  \u2022 Wurundjeri<\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"bet-on\" style=\"margin-top:0\">Under 171.5 points ($1.88)<\/div>\n                                  <\/div>\n          <span class=\"icon\"><svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" fill=\"currentColor\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\"><!----><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/punters\/wp-content\/themes\/punters\/assets\/brand-icons\/tabnz\/svg-sports-afl-icon.svg?v=20260707b#north-melbourne-fc\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <!--\/div -->\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n      <div class='teams-tip-content'>\n      <p>The Kangaroos may not have won last week but they overcame a 20-point deficit against the Lions to claim an unlikely draw. The Tigers kicked a solitary goal in the 4th quarter last week, but it was enough to take the win against the Eagles. The concern for the Tigers is that of their limited wins in the last year (3) they have lost their following match. The Kangaroos have lost their last 9 away games, but they have covered the line in their last 4 and 9 of their last 11 on the road. The Under is 5-0 in the Tigers last 5 and 73% of their home games in the last year.
