Carlton Blues vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Prediction: Blues expected to step up their game

The Marvel Stadium will host the Australian Football League game between Carlton Blues and North Melbourne Kangaroos. Both teams are coming off a league defeat and will hope for a better result here. How w🐭ill these teams respond here?

The Carlton Blues suffered their second defeat in a row and will hope they get things right. In their first game this month, the Carlton Blues faced GWS Giants and lost 116-104, but then went to lose 100-86 the previous weekend. Yet, the Carlton Blues have been at top level in prior encounters to those defeats, defeating the Gold Coast Suns, Port Adelaide Power, Essendon Bombers, Geelong Cats, and the Geelong Cats in that run. Heading into this game, Carlton Blues are seated in 2nd place in the league standings with 44 points from 17 matches. 

North Melbourne Kangaroos suffered a defeat last weekend against the Sydney Swans in a game that ended 138-59. However, the North Melbourne Kangaroos have struggled so much this season, and they will need to do more here to secure a win. The North Melbourne Kangaroos have played below par in their last matches, securing just one win in their last five games, coming against the Gold Coast Suns. The North Melbourne Kangaroos come into this game with 8 points from 17 matches, positioning them 17th out of 18th in the league standings. 

The Carlton Blues are the better team in this fixture, and even though they struggled the last two weekends, I am conf꧋ident they will win here. The North Melbou🔥rne Kangaroos are nowhere near a good level of performance, and as an underdog on the road here, I am backing them to lose in a big fashion.
