Collingwood Magpies vs West Coast Eagles Prediction: Magpies have another easy job ahead

Marvel Stadium will be the venue for this round 9 Australian Football League encounter between Collingwood Magpies and West Coast Eagles. The Magpies won the last game of this fixture on the road. Can the West Coast Eagles, on the road, do the same?

Collingwood Magpies were brilliant last weekend against the Carlton Blues, securing a 79-85 win. In that game, the Magpies needed a solid second and fourth-quarter performance to close the gaps, as it was a tough job on the road against an informed side. With that win, Collingwood Magpies kept their strong form intact, extending their unbeaten run following a poor season start. Collingwood Magpies have accumulated 18 points after 8 games this season, positioning them 9th in the standings.

West Coast Eagles suffered their second consecutive defeat last weekend against the Essendon Bombers, losing 71-77 in a home game. However, this team's last five games show they have lost three and two others against Sydney Swans and Gold Coast Suns. However, West Coast Eagles games against the Richmond Tigers and Fremantle Dockers ended in wins in consecutive weeks. This season, from the first 8 matches, the West Coast Eagles have accumulated 8 points, positioning them 15th in the standings.

The Magpies keep getting strong week by week, and confidence in them keeps increasing. On the other hand, West Coast Eagles are one of the weakest sides in the AFL, and they have struggled a lot in many games. Looking at the teams’ squad, level of play, and form, the Collingwood Magpies are favorites, and with their run of strong plays, a high-margin win for them looks undeniable.
