Bet: Bet On This Match HERE
Preview:
The two form sides of the competition go head to head on Sunday where the Tigers go into the game against the Lions at the MCG as favourites.
Richmond have really stamped themselves as the team to beat for the rest of the season and that title will go on the line this weekend where they face top side Brisbane at home.
The Tigers were very good in their win over the Eagles on the weekend whilst the Lions just won over the Cats.
This looks a very good match on paper but we have the Tigers on top at the MCG.
Tigers to win but punters could easily back the Lions at their current price. Expecting a close game.
