Richmond Tigers vs Carlton Blues Prediction: Tigers to suffer a huge defeat

Melbourne Cricket Ground will host the Australian Football League encounter between the Richmond Tigers and Carlton Blues. The Tigers are underdogs here, while the Blues are overwhelming favorites. How will this game end?

Richmond Tigers

Richmond Tigers will head into this game following a 49-97 defeat against the Hawthorn Hawks. However, that defeat was the Richmond Tigers’ 9th loss in their last 10 games, with their lone win being against Adelaide Crows in a game that ended 71-79. However, other encounters saw Richmond Tigers lose to St Kilda Saints, West Coast Eagles, Melbourne Demons, Fremantle Dockers, Western Bulldogs, Brisbane Lions, Geelong Cats and Essendon Bombers. In the league this season, Richmond Tigers have 8 points from 14 matches, positioning them 17th in the standings. 

Carlton Blues

Carlton Blues are in the round of games that ended in wins, and in this game, they will look to keep things running. In that run of games, the Carlton Blues picked up wins over Gold Coast Suns, Port Adelaide Power, Essendon Bombers, and the Geelong Cats the previous week. In the league this season, Carlton Blues have accumulated just 8 points from 14 matches, the second-fewest, with the North Melbourne Kangaroos pulling just 8. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Richmond Tigers have not been a threat to the top side this season, but their performances in this fixture are commendable. However, I feel the outcome of this fixture will be different, and all possibilities point to the Carlton Blues in this one, looking at how brilliant they have been over the months and the fact that they could finish in a very good position in the standings. This will be a one-sided game, and the Richmond Tigers should have no chance.
