West Coast Eagles vs Melbourne Demons Match Prediction 03 May 2025

It is just difficult to have the West Coast Eagles as favourites in this game. Either against tough or weaker sides, this side has struggled to produce any encouraging performances and it is clear why they remain without a point after seven rounds of matches. On the other hand, the Melbourne Demons are not having the best of their performances at the moment in comparison to the previous seasons, but it is clear they have found a pathway after getting the better of both the Fremantle Dockers and the Richmond Tigers. 

At the moment, there is no one interested in how the West Coast Eagles are playing or the prospects of snapping their losing streak. While this could be a less competitive encounter, the Melbourne Demons are expected to start the game with an early lead, and while they should dominate, a good margin win is certain.

Our betting tip: is handicap W2 (-13.5) with odds at 1.91 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Our final betting tip: is under 160.5 with odds at 1.85 on the Betway bookmaker.
