Expert Betting Tips

The St Kilda Saints have been at the top of their game in recent weeks, and I do not expect them to drop their level of play. While Carlton Blues come in as favorites, and at home, their chances are high too, as they will look to return to winning ways after consecutive defeats. However, looking at the two teams, I expect this one to be tight. However, with the Blues being very good the previous week, I expect them to win.
