Brisbane Lions vs West Coast Eagles Prediction: Tough morning for the Eagles in Woolloongabba

The Gabba will host the Australian Football League encounter between Brisbane Lions and West Coast Eagles. The two teams are coming off contrasting results as the Eagles suffered a defeat last weekend. Below, I will preview this game and offer free betting options. 

Brisbane Lions

The Brisbane Lions started their season on the right track against the Sydney Swans the previous weekend and will look to keep things running. In an 82-86 contest, the Brisbane Lions needed a solid comeback performance to win, having gone behind 24-9 in quarter one. In other quarters, this team won 21-23 and 15-38, while also losing the last quarter 22-16. Ahead of this game, the Brisbane Lions have won four of their last matches overall, having also won the league title the previous year. 

West Coast Eagles

The West Coast Eagles started their season with a defeat at home to the Gold Coast Suns. In that encounter, this team struggled, conceding huge numbers in each quarter. In the meantime, the visiting West Coast Eagles had only one win, coming against North Melbourne. Yet, they lost to the Geelong Cats and Carlton Blues in that run. Ahead of this game, West Coast Eagles have not won any of their recent matches in this fixture dating back to 2020. 

Expert Betting Tips

I do not see the West Coast Eagles responding to their poor performance last weekend but struggling again. Looking at how the Brisbane Lions started their season, however, the home team will also have to improve their offensive play despite the fact I do not see the West Coast Eagles posing any offensive threat. This will be a one-sided game, and I will back the Lions to win with a good margin.
