September 23rd, 18:40, The Gabba
Two of the biggest sides in the AFL go at it here, as Brisbane host Carlton, with both sides looking to get over the line and reach the AFL final in 2023.
For the Brisbane Lions, it has been another campaign to remember, with their results making them a staple for many punters with their accumulators with multi betting sites.
Finishing second in the regular season was vindication for the excellent campaign enjoyed by Brisbane, as they chase their first AFL title since 2003.
The Gabba has once again become a fortress for Brisbane, who are a very tough side to beat, and Carlton know they will have to be at their best if they are to overcome the Lions in this one.
However, the Carlton Blues are arguably a better side than they are being given credit for and their run to the finals and subsequently the last 4 has been hugely impressive.
Carlton edged past Melbourne last weekend and should be up for this one, but Brisbane do look to have the bit between their teeth.
Best Bet: Brisbane to win the match @ $1.40 (Bet365)
For all the conjecture surrounding the game between Brisbane and Carlton, there are plenty of big questions that look set to be answered at the Gabba on Saturday night.
Brisbane’s physical approach has been too much for most sides this season but if there is one side that could mix it with them, it is the Carlton Blues – a side that have been in sublime form of late.
Points look to be guaranteed in this one, with some of the sharpest shooters in the AFL looking to add to their tallies - Charlie Curnow of Carlton and Joe Deniher of the Brisbane Lions.
Whilst plenty of AFL betting sites have made the Brisbane Lions the relatively short priced favourites to come out on top in this one, there is plenty of value to be found within the in-play betting markets.
Both sides will want to assert their playing style over this one and points do look to be on the cards at both ends of the oval.
Best Bet: Brisbane vs Carlton – Over 160.5 the match - $1.65 (GetSetBet).
