June 20th at 7:50 PM – Marvel Stadium, Melbourne

It’s a tough match to call – Marvel Stadium experts, the Kangaroos face one of the AFL’s best travelling teams – the Sydney Swans.

Betting websites are rightly split in their assessment of the sports betting odds for this match with both teams boasting a young list and in their own respective rebuilding phases.

The most significant out for the Swans that could play a crucial role in the outcome is Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin missing with a long-term hamstring injury. It does provide a great opportunity for the young Swans to gain experience and fight to the end.
