Richmond Tigers vs Essendon Bombers Prediction: Bombers to secure another big win

The AFL round 11 game between Richmond Tigers and Essendon Bombers will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. As home underdogs, can the Tigers end their run of losses?

Richmond Tigers

The Richmond Tigers were disappointed against the Brisbane Lions the previous weekend, losing 163-44. However, that defeat was just one of their disappointing performances this season. Looking at how their last matches have ended, this side has lost six consecutive matches while they won one of their last 13. The Richmond Tigers have just four points after their first ten games this season, and they are seated 17th in the league’s log.

Essendon Bombers

Essendon Bombers have an unbeaten run of games into this game, and they will look to keep that intact here. In their last weekend’s performance, this team played the North Melbourne Kangaroos and secured a 40-run margin. In the meantime, this team has defeated Western Bulldogs, Adelaide Crows, West Coast Eagles, and GWS Giants in previous weeks while they drew Collingwood Magpies 85-85. Essendon Bombers have a total of 30 points this season and are 10 points adrift of first-placed Sydney Swans. 

Expert Betting Tips

Looking at how strong the Essendon Bombers have been over the past weekend, there is no doubt they will dominate here. The Richmond Tigers are unarguably the second-weakest side in the league this season and have not proven to do better. This should be a one-sided game, and I am backing the Bombers to win with a good margin.
