West Coast Eagles vs Gold Coast Suns Predictions: An offensive-focused contest is expected

The Australian Football League game between West Coast Eagles and Gold Coast Suns will take place at Optus Stadium. The two teams head into this game hoping to secure a win. Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions. 

West Coast Eagles

The West Coast Eagles struggled the previous season and will hope things go the right way for them this year. In 23 matches played, West Coast Eagles finished in 16th place with a 68.15 percentile. In the meantime, this team finished their previous season with consecutive defeats against the Geelong Cats and Carlton Blues. Earlier this month in the preseason, the West Coast Eagles secured a crucial win ahead of this game, ending 71-69 against North Melbourne. West Coast Eagles head into this game with just one win in their last five against Gold Coast Suns.

Gold Coast Suns

The Gold Coast Suns will be confident going into this game following a poor 2024 season. In 23 matches, Gold Coast Suns finished in 13th spot with 44 points, pulling off just a 99.07 percentile. In the meantime, the Gold Coast Suns played the Sydney Swans in the preseason and ended in a defeat, ending 63-84. Meanwhile, the Gold Coast Suns have lost three of their last five matches, two against the West Coast Eagles and the Melbourne Demons. Yet, they lost to the Richmond Tigers and Essendon Bombers. Ahead of this game, Gold Coast Suns won four of their last five encounters with the Eagles despite losing the most recent. 

Expert Betting Tips

The two teams have to display character and come into this game with focus. However, being the better team, I will lean on the Gold Coast Suns in this game given the Suns new recruitments. Yet, at home, I do not see the West Coast Eagles giving in easily and I will back them to score many points.
