Adelaide Crows vs Hawthorn Hawks: Prediction for the match on September 12, 2025

At Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Crows will play Hawthorn Hawks at Australian Football League quarterfinal stage. The two teams will eye a place in the semis as they eye the league title. Can Hawks hurt the Crows after an incredible regular season performance? Let’s get into match previews and offer predictions. 

Adelaide Crows: Form and Statistics

Despite a solid regular season, the Adelaide Crows could not get their way around the Collingwood Magpies and have to deliver a quality game to win here. In their round ⅛, this team scored just 55 points and ended up losing by 13 points. Meanwhile, the Adelaide Crows have lost only once at this venue since April with nine wins recorded in that run and will hope to get their best performance this time. 

Adelaide Crows Team News and Lineup

The Adelaide Crows are expected to go with almost the same team that lost to the Magpies in round 1/8/ While Josh Rachele will be a huge addition after returning from a knee injury, Izak Rankine still has two matches of a suspension to serve.

Hawthorn Hawks: Form and Statistics

The Hawthorn Hawks will look to be at their best again after that solid play against the GWS Giants. The Hawthorn Hawks had a very strong start that saw them go 24 points at the end of the first quarter. However, despite the score being close in the second quarter, a 38-16 defeat in quarter three could not stop them from booking a spot here thanks to a 9-22 finale quarter win. Heading into this game, the Hawthorn Hawks have lost three times in their last four road games. 

Hawthorn Hawks Team News and Lineup

The Hawthorn Hawks are expected to be without Calsher Dear who picked up a hamstring injury with Mitch Lewis being the best option to come in after scoring four goals at VFL level last weekend. Meanwhile, Max Ramsden, Cam Mckenzie and Henry Hustwaite are all in strong position to get a chance in this fixture.
