AFL: Lions vs Bombers – Match Insights & Our Tips

2 weeks ago - Sportingbase AFL: Lions vs Bombers – Match Insights & Our Tips Image
Looking for the best betting opportunities in Brisbane vs Essendon? The Lions are one of the competition’s form teams and will be aiming to complete a season double over the struggling Bombers, with plenty of value emerging across line, margin and player markets.

Brisbane has hit top gear with four consecutive wins, including impressive victories over Sydney and Geelong, and looks to be peaking at the ideal time as it chases another premiership. Essendon, meanwhile, has endured a difficult campaign and enters this clash on an 11-game losing streak after a heavy defeat to St Kilda. The Lions dominated the first meeting between the sides by 64 points earlier this season, with Zac Bailey, Logan Morris and Kai Lohmann combining for 12 goals in a performance that could again shape the key anytime goalscorer markets.
