Fremantle Dockers vs Gold Coast Suns Match Prediction 06 September 2025

The Fremantle Dockers look like that side in this fixture, and no disrespect to the Gold Coast Suns, Dockers ability to contain their pressure makes them special. While the Fremantle Dockers did have a sluggish performance in late April to May, the way they ended their season was incredible. With the Gold Coast Suns coming in as underdogs, it is difficult to expect them to turn the tables in this one. Meanwhile, past meetings in this fixture have ended with fewer points and with how crucial this game is, I expect the two teams to be cautious.
