Essendon Bombers vs Carlton Blues Odds
Essendon Bombers vs Carlton Blues Preview
It’s been a wild week for Essendon after the positive COVID-19 test of Connor McKenna, followed by a negative test just a day or two later.
It’s hardly been the ideal preparation for the Bombers who also had their game against Melbourne last week postponed.
Carlton played some breathtaking football for three quarters last week and if they can bring the same level they’re every chance of upsetting the Bombers here.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Carlton to win at $2.25 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Mitch McGovern at $13.
