The prediction
Collingwood come into this one on the back of a dramatic and slender six-point defeat of the Gold Coast in their most recent outing, last week. That means that the Victorians have now enjoyed three successive victories as they sit tucked inside the top ten.
Just outside of the top ten are North Melbourne with eight victories and eight defeats in their 16 matches. North Melbourne succumbed to a 21-point loss to Port Adelaide after victories against West Coast, Richmond and Essendon.
North Melbourne and Collingwood are now in good form and a high-scoring affair is expected to be a decent bet as they push for a much-needed and a potentially defining victory.
Collingwood vs North Melbourne tip: Over 189.5 points
