The Prediction

The Eagles have shown glimpses of promise, particularly in their recent match against Brisbane where they demonstrated resilience despite ultimately falling short. Key players like Tim Kelly will be crucial, as he has consistently performed well against the Dockers, averaging 28 disposals in their past encounters.

Fremantle, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from a tough start. They have struggled to close out games effectively, failing to cover the line in seven of their last eight matches going back to last season.

The head-to-head record between these two teams is closely contested, with each side having won one match in their last two derbies. Given the current form, Fremantle are favourites to win, but the Eagles will be determined to use their home advantage to secure a much-needed victory.

This match is shaping up to be a closely contested affair, with both teams eager to break their winless streaks. Expect a fiery and intense clash as these cross-town rivals battle it out in front of a passionate Perth crowd, with Fremantle favoured.

Tip: Fremantle to win with -14.5 handicap
