Collingwood Magpies vs Melbourne Demons Prediction: An evenly matched contest

In the last game of week 13 AFL encounters, Collingwood Magpies will play Melbourne Demons at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Looking at the winning odds, both teams have equal chances, leaving this game open. How will this encounter end?

Collingwood Magpies will continue in their bid to make the playoffs when they take on the Demons here. Last weekend, Collingwood Magpies played Western Bulldogs, and they lost 82-100, their second game with no wins in succession, having drawn Fremantle Dockers 75-75 in the prior game. However, Collingwood Magpies were able to pick wins over Carlton Blues, West Coast Eagles, and Adelaide Powers in prior encounters to those winless runs. This season, Collingwood Magpies have accumulated 28 points in the AFL, positioning them 9th in the standings. 

Melbourne Demons struggled again, and last weekend, this side lost to the Fremantle Dockers in a 49-141 surprising defeat. However, that defeat was Melbourne Demons’ third in their last four games, with their lone win being a 100-62 win over the St Kilda Saints. However, this team lost to Carlton Blues and West Coast Eagles in other encounters, matches that ended 77-76 and 105-70. In the AFL this season, Melbourne Demons have 28 points from their first 12 league games, positioning them 10th in the standings. 

Melbourne Demons have been poor in recent games, and this team has consistently disappointed. On the other hand, the Collingwood Magpies have not stepped up in their last two matches, and we should expect some improvements here. Regardless, looking at the quality of the two teams, the Collingwood Magpies are expected to win. Also, while the two teams' offenses have not been too good lately, this game could end with a few points.
