The prediction

The Richmond Tigers recorded their third win of the season when they held on against the West Coast Eagles 81-79. 

North Melbourne didn’t record a victory however they had perhaps their best performance of the season so far against the Brisbane Lions playing out a dramatic 71-all draw. With just two wins on the season this game against the Tigers represents one of their better chances for them to move up the ladder albeit so slightly. 

The two sides have split their last six contests with North Melbourne winning their most recent contest in August last year 90-77. Harry Sheezel’s breakout season continues, averaging right on 30 possessions per match. The Nick Larkey and Paul Curtis forward combination has netted 39 goals between them however it hasn’t converted into consistent winning football.

For the Tigers, Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto are leading the way with disposals. As a clear indicator of the Richmond struggles they own just two players who have kicked more than 10 goals on the season so far.

This game has a low scoring feel to it so we think the best play might be to take the under total points.

Richmond vs North Melbourne tip: Total match points under 172.5
