West Adelaide vs Blue Eagles tips and predictions

West Adelaide earning respect in this clash

A result here could be within West Adelaide's capabilities.

West Adelaide can take encouragement from the results they've posted leading up to this clash. The hosts have reached 4 wins in 7 matches. With differing fortunes the travelling side has failed to deliver at times. They've lost 14 of their recent 18 matches on the road.

West Adelaide will take motivation from what they have done in the past to win against the odds. The hosts have had some excellent spells in their previous displays. They have scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 7 matches.

Lately Blue Eagles have lacked a strong foundation to stand up to pressure. They have conceded two or more goals in 10 of their last 13 matches. Their legitimate scoring chances have been conspicuous by their absence too. Blue Eagles have only scored once in their last 3 away games.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up sharing the spoils. The sportsbooks believe that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for Blue Eagles. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter.
