Fremantle Dockers vs Geelong Cats Prediction: Dockers should take advantage of their turf

Optus Stadium will host the Australian Football League action between Fremantle Dockers and Geelong Cats. This will be the first time these two teams will face in 2024. Which team gets the win?

The Fremantle Dockers are coming off a defeat against the Essendon Bombers, and in this game, they will look for a better performance. In a game that ended with just one point loss, the Fremantle Dockers lost for the second time in four matches, their first being an 87-74 defeat at the hands of Hawthorn Hawks. In the meantime, recent matches have seen the Fremantle Dockers defeat Gold Coast Suns, West Coast Eagles, Melbourne Demons, Richmond Tigers, and Sydney Swans. With 50 points, Fremantle Dockers are seated 6th in AFL.

The Geelong Cats are coming off a win over the Adelaide Crows, and they will feel confident enough to keep things running. In a game that ended 90-85, that win was Geelong Cats fifth in their last six encounters. In that run, the Geelong Cats' only defeat was against Western Bulldogs in a 48-95 meeting. While they head into this game, Geelong Cats have 52 points from their first 20 games this season, leaving them seated 5th in the standings.

The Fremantle Dockers come in as home favorites, and we can expect a lot from them. In the past encounters against the Geelong Cats, the Dockers have won three consecutive meetings, and we should expect something better from the visiting Cats here. I expect this one to be close, but I trust the Fremantle Dockers here in what should be a high-scoring game.
