The prediction

The West Coast Eagles (18th) have endured a season of immense hardship. Their Round 23 match was another heavy defeat, going down to the Western Bulldogs by 94 points.

The Sydney Swans (10th) had their finals hopes officially extinguished in Round 23 when they were outclassed by Geelong 111-68.

West Coast's young midfielder, Ryan Maric, continued to show promising signs for the future in the heavy loss to the Bulldogs, collecting a team-high 26 disposals.

Sydney's co-captain, Callum Mills, was a strong contributor in his side’s loss to Geelong. He worked tirelessly in the midfield, finishing with 25 disposals and 7 marks.

Sydney has completely dominated West Coast in recent years, winning the last four encounters. Their most recent clash in Round 4, 2024 ended in a 26-point victory to the Swans.

The winning streak should continue for Sydney, with both teams looking forward to a busy off season where each Coach will have plenty of questions that need answers.

West Coast vs Sydney tip: Sydney to win by 25+ points
