Win Percentages
Quick Insight
At the time of writing Neds had the head to head for Sydney Swans set at $1.75, and $2.10 for the Brisbane Lions, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:
- Swans: 54.55%
- Brisbane Lions: 45.46%
We ran our own tests using advanced metrics and statistics resulting in a much closer probability between the two teams taking into account all statistics ran throughout the season.
Currently the odds for Brisbane Lions are undervalued by the bookmakers and Lions should actually be closer to $2.02, this presents a value opportunity for a Brisbane Lions bet.
Winning Margin Probabilities
While the anticipated margins favour a 1-39 point winning margin suggesting a close game, the odds are slightly better for the Swans with a 4.56% higher chance of winning by 1-39 than the Brisbane Lions.
Historically when playing each other the Swans and Lions total score is 3.1 points higher than the 170.5 total points, considering this is the Grand Final and we should be expecting a free for all we are anticipating less points than average so an UNDER bet is recommended.
