Collingwood Magpies vs Carlton Blues Prediction: Magpies is worth risking

Collingwood Magpies w𝕴ill take on the Carlton Blues at Melbourne Cricket Ground. This game is part of the round 21 encounters of the Australian Football League. Coming into this game, Carlton Blues are favorites, but can the Magpies turn the tables at home venue?

Collingwood Magpies

The Collingwood Magpies ended a four-game run of losses with a 93-67 over Richmond Tigers. However, there are still a lot of things the Magpies have to improve on, as that win was against the weakest side in the league that has only racked up just two wins in 19 matches. 

In their run of losses, Collingwood Magpies' defeats were against Gold Coast Suns, Essendon Bombers, Geelong Cats, and Hawthorn Hawks. This season, the Collingwood Magpies have accumulated 40 points from a possible 96. This team is seated 12th in th🎶e standings, with a 100.06 percentage. 

Carlton Blues

The Carlton Blues ended on the losing end the previous weekend against Port Adelaide Power and will look to redeem themselves. In that encounter, the Carlton Blues scored 65 goals but conceded 79, leaving them with a 1-3 record in the last four league games. In that run, their only win was against North Melbourne Kangaroos, which ended 107-88. However, they lost to GWS Giants and Western Bulldogs in other games. 

Regardless, it is worth noting that Carlton Blues won five games in a row before those inconsistent results. In that stretch, Carlton Blues defeated Gold Coast Suns, Port Adelaide Power, Essendon Bombers, Geelong Cats, and Richmond Tigers. Carlton Blue🅘s have 48 points accumulated this season, the fourth most by any side alongside Port Adelaide Power, GWS Cats, and Geelong Cats. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Magpies are definitely having a worse season, and it is understandable that they come into this encounter as underdogs. On the other hand, Carlton Blues have not lived up to expectations in recent weekends, and they will have to be at their best in this encounter. In this fixture, the Collingwood Magpies have been the better team, and despite their struggles, I expect more from them following last weekend’s win. Take the Collingwood Magpies to close the odds in this encounter, a game that should end with few points.
