West Coast Eagles vs St Kilda Saints Preview
It seems like the Saints are on a downward spiral, especially after their recent disappointing performance against the Demons. Meanwhile, the Eagles also faced a heavy defeat against the Crows. However, back at home in Optus Stadium, the Eagles have the advantage, especially considering their recent win over the Demons at the same venue. The Saints have struggled defensively and lack dominance in the midfield, while the Eagles have the upper hand in this area. On a fast-paced Optus Stadium, the Eagles will likely aim for quick inside 50 entries to put pressure on the Saints’ defense. With the Saints ranking second in turnovers per game, they might face challenges if they opt for a fast-paced style of play through the corridor. Given these factors, it seems like the Eagles have the edge in this matchup.
