SUBSCRIBERS

Geelong Cats vs Carlton Blues: Ben Ainsworth Over 0.5 Goals (-278)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

The Geelong Cats have had trouble keeping their opponents from scoring, giving up over 84 points per match recently. Meanwhile, Carlton plays strong in contested ball and has been winning most of their games. This sets up a good chance for Ben Ainsworth to score at least one goal. Ainsworth has a solid chance of getting on the scoreboard, especially with Carlton's scoring ability. The risk is that Geelong's defense could step up, which has happened at times. Still, given the way the teams have been playing, betting on Ainsworth to score over 0.5 goals looks promising.
