Carlton Blues vs Collingwood Magpies Prediction: Pies should have their chances

Carlton Blues will host the Collingwood Magpies at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in this round 8 Australian Football League. The two teams will enter this game, hoping to take their chances. Which team gets the win here?

Carlton Blues come in as the favorite in this game following a defeat at the hands of undefeated Geelong Cats last weekend. The Carlton Blues had a slow start to the game, and they looked like they would turn the tables in the 4th quarter until a poor late hurdle. However, Carlton Blues have lost two of their last five games, with one other coming against the Adelaide Crows. However, they were able to pick wins over the likes of North Melbourne Kangaroos, Fremantle Dockers, and GWS Giants. This season, Carlton Blues are seated 6th with 20 points.

The previous week, the Essendon Bombers held Collingwood Magpies to a draw, a game that ended 85-85. However, the Collingwood Magpies have gone four games without a defeat, winning three others, compared to how they started their season with three straight losses. In their run of loess, Collingwood Magpies were defeated by GWS Giants, Sydney Swans and the St Kilda Saints. While they have picked up wins in their games against Brisbane Lions, Hawthorn Hawks and Port Adelaide Powers, Collingwood Magpies have accumulated 14 points, positioning them 10th in the standings.

The Magpies have improved in the past weeks, and they now look like the team that won the league last season. The Blues did have a decent start to the season, but this side's last matches have not been easy for them. This should be a competitive game, and we can expect it to be close. At the moment, Collingwood Magpies are the strongest, and despite coming here as underdogs, I am backing them to win in what should be a high scoring.
