The GWS Giants ended their run of defeat the previous weekend against Geelong Cats and will hope to get things right again.

Ahead of this game, GWS Giants have 20 points from their first nine league games, leaving them seated 8th in the standings.

GWS Giants vs Fremantle Dockers Match Prediction 17 May 2025

The Fremantle Dockers are struggling to get things right, and they need more to give in this road game. Despite a better performance against Collingwood Magpies the Fremantle Dockers are still not at their best, looking at how much they have suffered defensively lately. However, GWS Giants have not been at their best in recent times, losing three times in their last four matches. In the meantime, looking at what the two teams have to offer, I feel Fremantle Dockers will find it difficult to get within the line, considering the winning odds of this game. While the two teams will have to focus on defensive play, I feel this game will also end with few points at full time. 

Our match prediction: is under 175.5 points with odds at 1.68 on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip: is handicap W1(-19.50) with odds at 1.91 on Bet365 bookmaker. 

Our final betting tip: is GWS Giants winning margin (1-14) with odds at 5.25 on Betway bookmaker.
