Who should you be tipping in Round 20 of the AFL season? Our footy experts have put their heads together to help you out. So open your ESPNfootytips app, take notes, and get ahead of the game!
Round 20 kicks off with a cracker between Adelaide and Collingwood and there's plenty at stake for both teams. The Crows can go equal second with a win, while the in-form Pies likely need to upset a side above them in their run home to hold onto a spot in the top 10.
Friday night is also fascinating. Geelong is undermanned and their win over the Saints last week was only their second since May. The Dees? They've won five of their past six and are right in a top four race. That's the first of a double-header, with Freo and West Coast also doing battle at Optus Stadium.
Saturday is headlined by a clash between Carlton and Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium, before the Giants and Swans go head-to-head at Engie Stadium with a lot on the line.
On Sunday, Brisbane hosts Port Adelaide, and North Melbourne will look to keep their wildcard hopes alive when they take on St Kilda to close out the weekend's action.
Our experts share all of their wisdom with you to help guide your tipping.
