GWS Giants vs Carlton Blues Prediction: Blues keep improving

Sydney Showground will host the AFL encounter between the GWS Giants and Carlton Blues. How will this game end? Below is a preview of the game with betting possibilities. 

GWS Giants ended on the losing end the previous weekend against the Adelaide Crows, suffering a 94-78 defeat in a road game. However, that defeat will make it the third time GWS Giants will end on the losing end in just five consecutive games, having also lost to the Sydney Swans and the Hawthorn Hawks in prior games. Yet, this side did well to pull off wins over the Port Adelaide Power and the Geelong Cats in other encounters in that run, securing 73-51 and 74-78 wins. In the AFL this season, GWS Giants have pulled off 32 points from 15 matches, leaving them seated 10th in the standings.

Carlton Blues continued their decent performance against the Richmond Tigers the previous weekend, securing a 70-131 win. However, prior encounters to that win saw Carlton Blues secure wins over the Gold Coast Suns, Port Adelaide Power, Essendon Bombers, and the Geelong Cats. In the meantime, this side lost three out of four consecutive matches against the Geelong Cats, Collingwood Magpies, and the Sydney Swans, with the only win in that run being against the Melbourne Demons. In the AFL, Carlton Blues have the second most points accumulated, 44 from 15 matches, eight behind first-placed Carlton Blues. 

The GWS Giants have been a strong side, but they have not consistently shown what they can do or what we can expect from them. While The Carlton Blues are on a run of solid performances, we can only expect nothing but a decent performance from them here. We can not rule anything out by looking at the two teams’ winning odds, but it is clear that the Blues have a competitive team that should earn them a win, an encounter that could end with many points.
