The Giants have been going well, but after losing the derby to Sydney last week, it is important they respond in the right way against the Bombers.
They are 6.00 to win the 2024 grand final and a return to winning ways is crucial.
Hawthorn picked up just their second win of the season against the Bulldogs and now need to back it up against St Kilda in the opening game on Saturday.
The Bulldogs will attempt to bounce back from the surprise home defeat when they take on Richmond at the MCG.

. Odds: Essendon 2.40, Greater Western Sydney 1.58

They can ill-afford any more slip ups and nothing other than the win will do against the Bombers.
The Giants won by 126 points in the last meeting and are 21.00 to win by 73+ on this occasion as well.
It should be a tighter contest though as the Bombers are undefeated in the last four games to sit sixth on the ladder.

They have a good record at the venue however, winning the last four games, and will be out to pick up number five.
North Melbourne sit 0-8 for the season and have conceded over 100 points in each of the last five games.
The Suns can be backed at 4.75 to pile more misery on them by winning by 73+ points.
