Fremantle Dockers vs Melbourne Demons Prediction: Dockers confident of getting back on track

Optus Stadium will host the Australian Football League encounter between the Fremantle Dockers and Melbourne Demons. The Dockers have a high chance of winning here, while the Demons are off consecutive wins. How will this game end?

The Fremantle Dockers ended on the losing end last weekend against the Hawthorn Hawks on the road and will hope for a statement win here. In that game, Fremantle Dockers lost 87-74, their 2nd defeat in 8 league games, ending on the losing end against Western Bulldogs in mid-June. Yet, Fremantle Dockers have accumulated 42 points in the league this season, positioning them 5th in the standings.

Melbourne Demons are coming off their second win in a row, this time against the Essendon Bombers, having defeated West Coast Eagles the week before. In the meantime, the Melbourne Demons have been inconsistent in recent matches, having lost three of four games prior to those wins, as the Collingwood Magpies, Melbourne Demons, and the Brisbane Lions defeated them. Off to this game, Melbourne Demons are seated 8th in the AFL standings, occupying the last playoff spot with 40 points from 17 matches. 

I will give the Fremantle Dockers a chance in this game, even though the Melbourne Demons have been brilliant in the last two weeks. Yet, the Fremantle Dockers have been the better side in this fixture in the last few meetings, and being at home during this fixture should give them a good chance. Yet, expect this one to be competitive, but the Demons should give their best here.
