As the AFL season commences, Sydney is set to face Hawthorn in the opening round of 2025 at the SCG after facing some cyclone-related delays. The Swans, who were favorites among punters in the previous season, are currently undervalued in the betting market. They managed to cover the line in 16 out of 26 games last year, including 9 out of 14 at home. Despite their disappointing Grand Final performance, the team has shown promise under the new coach, Dean Cox. Their convincing wins against the Giants and Suns in the preseason indicate a strong start to the new season.
In contrast, Hawthorn has displayed a lackluster performance during the preseason, suffering defeats against the Cats and an injury-plagued Bulldogs team. Anticipated regression was expected after their impressive run in 2024, and early signs suggest this is materializing. Even without key player Errol Gulden, Sydney is likely to dominate the midfield battle, giving them an edge over Hawthorn in the upcoming match.
A recommended bet for the game is backing Sydney with a -2.5 line. Additionally, a Same Game Multi involving Heeney scoring anytime, Sicily and Roberts achieving 20+ disposals, presents a favorable opportunity. Heeney, known for his consistent goal-scoring abilities, is expected to make an impact. Sicily, operating as a half-back distributor, is likely to shine with increased opportunities, while Roberts, the primary distributor for Sydney, is predicted to surpass 30 disposals.
For those seeking a value bet, placing a wager on Matt Roberts to exceed 30 disposals could prove rewarding. Roberts has demonstrated his playmaking skills, notably in the last season and the recent practice match against Gold Coast. With his pivotal role in Sydney’s gameplay, he is expected to deliver a standout performance.
