Carlton Blues vs GWS Giants Prediction: Giants hopeful of keeping unbeaten run intact

Marvel Stadium will host this highly anticipated Australian Football League game between the Carlton Blues and GWS Giants in week six fixtures. Carlton Blues and GWS Giants have been more than impressive this season. While the Blues suffered their first defeat the previous weekend, the Giants will look to keep their perfect 💃season record intact. I will look into the full match previews while providing the best bets for this game. 

Carlton Blues

Carlton Blues had a bright start to the season, winning their first four season matches, and until last weekend, they lost with a close 2-point margin to the Crows in a home game. However, after a disappointing previous weekend's game, I expect this team to step up here and show character as they look to win again and keep themselves as league contenders. In prior games this season, the Carlton Blues have defeated the likes of Brisbane Lions, Richmond Tigers, North Melbourne Kangaroos, and Fremantle Dockers. So far this season, Carlton Blues have accumulated 16 points from 5 matches, positioning them 6th in the standings, pulling off a 117.07 percentile value.

GWS Giants

The GWS Giants showed character the previous weekend against the St Kilda Saints, making it five wins in five games this season. While that win keep them top of the league standings in 20 points alongside Geelong Cats, the visiting team now know they need to prove a point against a tough top side like Giants as they look to keep their season going the right path. Carlton Blues keep their status as a king of comeback after their last weekend win, with that win becoming the 7th time in their previous 11 games overall while being behind at the end of halftime. In this game, the GWS Giants have defeated sides like Collingwood Magpies this season, North Melbourne Kangaroos, West Coast Eagles, and Gold Coast Suns.

Expert Tips & Prediction

This match is expected to be competitive at the highest level. These two sides have shown character, and they have even more to give here, as picking the maximum points will depend on how well they can get into the game and enforce their tactics. At home, the Carlton Blues come in as favorites, but GWS Giants have shown that they can break through defenses at home or on the road. I will be fair here, and the best bet looks like ‘over’ as a lot of offensive play is expected. However, Carlton Blues won’t want consecutive defeats, while the Giants will want to keep their winning run here, which makes this encounter a tough one to predict. However, I feel it is bes✅t to take the bold step here, and the Blues are my choice to win, as I expect them to hand the Giants their first defeat of the season.
