These are two sides that remain among those outside of the top ten and the playoff places but they have both majorly diverted in terms of form in recent months.

The prediction

Richmond have continued to be really poor throughout the campaign with just two victories in their 15 matches in the AFL, as they sit second-from-bottom and only above a woeful Essendon side.

Carlton, on the other hand, after a tough start both on and off the pitch with Michael Voss then sacked, have been excellent of late and that continued last week as they produced a 53-point hammering of the West Coast Eagles.

That means that the resurgent Carlton have now enjoyed six successive victories and they should be backed to make it seven-in-a-row at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
