The prediction
Richmond have won just two of their 17 matches in the AFL as they sit second-from-bottom. The home team’s most recent outing saw them succumb to a 56-point hammering at the hands of Melbourne last weekend.
They now face a Hawthorn side that sit third in the table, behind the Sydney Swans and now runaway AFL ladder leaders the Fremantle Dockers. Hawthorn remain just above the in-form defending champions the Brisbane Lions.
Hawthorn have now won four of their last five matches and have to be viewed as the overwhelming favourites to win this one comfortably at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Richmond vs Hawthorn tip: Hawthorn to win -25.5 points
