Fremantle Dockers vs Western Bulldogs Prediction: The Bulldogs are performing better

Optus Stadium will host the round four encounter of the Australian Football League between Fremantle Dockers and Western Bulldogs. The two teams are coming off a win and will have high hopes here. Which team wins this one? Below, I give a full game preview and offer betting opportunities.

Fremantle Dockers

The Fremantle Dockers played the West Coast Eagles the previous weekend and they won. In a 68-106 win, this team won each quarter, ending 19-34, 9-20, 19-29, and 21-23. In the meantime, Fremantle Dockers first two games of the season ended in defeat. In that run, this team played the Sydney Swans and Geelong Cats. Ahead of this game, Fremantle Dockers have won two of their last five matches of this fixture. The home team sits in 13th place in the standings with four points.

Western Bulldogs

Western Bulldogs bounced back to winning ways the previous weekend and will hope for a similar encounter in this fixture. In a 75-83 contest, this team pulled off a brilliant comeback after losing 27-4 at the end of the first quarter. However, having played three matches this season, the Western Bulldogs have two wins and one defeat. Their defeat came against the Collingwood Magpies in week 2, ending 70-76 after picking a 113-97 win over North Melbourne in week one. With 8 points, the Western Bulldogs sit tenth in the standings with a 107.26 percentage.

Expert Betting Tips

The Fremantle Dockers come in as the favourites but I do not see them getting the job done. This season, the Western Bulldogs have been more inspirational and competitive, making them a good side for this game. While the Dockers have also been better in this fixture at home, I believe they will prove stubborn. Yet, this game has always been an offence-focused one and I expect a similar outcome.
