Geelong Cats vs Greater Western Sydney Giants Preview
Surely you’d just pencil in a win for the Cats at home against the Giants on Friday night?
Geelong got it done in a low-scoring slog against North in Tassie last week, making it five wins on the trot and are starting to look very comfortable in the top two.
A home game at their actual home ground for which the Cats have won 15 out of their past 16, you’d be fairly confident as a punter that the Cats can bank the win in this one.
However, while they can be a bit hit and miss, GWS can be no pushover.
They were competitive for most of their match against Port last week with the likes of recently free from quarantine (not suspension) Toby Greene kicking two goals along with Josh Kelly and Jacob Hopper getting plenty of the footy.
It’s worth noting that the underdog has covered the line in nine of the 11 previous matches between Geelong and GWS.
You don’t need me to tell you that GWS are the underdogs in this game, but with the generous head start given to the Cats and the $2 on offer for a Friday night game, if the good version of the Giants turn up they are every chance to cover it.
