North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Sydney Swans Preview
A game against the cellar dwellers couldn’t have come at a better time for the Swans as they look to make one last push for the top four.
Sydney’s chances were dampened last week in a blowout loss to St Kilda, but from a betting perspective, this does set up one of the most profitable plays of the entire season.
The Swans have covered the line in nine of their last 11 games following a previous loss, while they’ve also won three straight over the Shinboners dating back to 2018.
Callum Mills is a chance at playing after being ruled out last week with an achilles problem.
Outside of him, the Swans remain one of the healthiest sides in the competition, which should come in handy with finals right around the corner.
On their day, North has shown they are capable of causing an upset over anyone, but the fact they’ve managed less than 10 goals in their last two games is cause for concern against a Sydney outfit that has no problem scoring.
Given the trends and recent history between these two sides, look for the Swans to make a statement.
