West Coast Eagles vs Western Bulldogs Preview
Optus Stadium should be rocking on Sunday afternoon for a potential finals preview between second and seventh.
The Eagles return from the bye looking to build on a come-from-behind win over Richmond a fortnight ago, while the Dogs are looking to bounce back from last week’s heartbreak against the Cats in Geelong.
West Coast has done extremely well to keep its head above water with so many players out injured, and there does appear to be some reprieve on the horizon with Luke Shuey, Jeremy McGovern, and Tim Kelly all a chance to return this week.
On the Doggies’ front, Aaron Naughton looks set to play after being subbed out during the game against Geelong, a huge inclusion for a forward line that currently leads the league in goals per game.
As far as betting goes, the Eagles are the rightful favourites at home, and they do look worthy of wager based on the fact they’ve won three straight home games against the Dogs since the 2016 Elimination Final.
The Dogs are a gritty side that has enough firepower to cause an upset, but since they’ve lost two of their last three games against a top eight side, the Eagles have a slight edge with a rest advantage.
