Essendon Bombers vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The first of this weekends AFL matches on Saturday is the anticipated clash between the Essendon Bombers and the Western Bulldogs at Metricon Stadium.
The in form Bombers go into the game as the favourites in the betting and if they can continue the form they have been in will be hard to beat.
The Bulldogs were looking very impressive in the first two games back from the COVID break but they were just poor on the weekend in their loss to Carlton.
We think the Bulldogs can however bounce back this weekend and they look a good match-up against the Bombers.
We will be backing them at the price.
