Sydney Swans vs West Coast Eagles Preview
Due to Sydney’s ongoing COVID situation, the neutral turf in Geelong will play host to Sunday’s top-eight blockbuster between the Swans and Eagles.
This is the second top-eight clash in a row for both sides after the Swans fell 10 points short to Port Adelaide last week, while West Coast followed suit on Sunday with a dismal display against the Dogs at home.
Both teams will be eager to get back on track and move a step closer to the top four, but this is a difficult game to dissect with almost even money on offer.
Having now lost back-to-back games, the Swans have really hit a rough patch that largely boils down to their inability to play a consistent four quarters.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are simply trying to get some of their mojo back after most of their stars have spent the first half of the season on the injured list.
To make matters more complicated, neither side has been particularly impressive on the road, which does make the Total the safest play.
Six of the last eight games between these two sides have gone Under the Total, so it’s worth backing a low-scoring affair on neutral turf.
