West Coast Eagles vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
West Coast will be looking forward to some normality after two seasons playing in bubbles due to covid and WA’s hard border restrictions.
With this restrictions now eased Gold coast will travel relatively freely for their round 1 clash against the Eagles.
West Coast have opened up as favourites here but I think the vlaue is with the Suns.
They’re always a team to be wary of early in the season and with Dew coaching for his career I think they’re every chance of upsetting the Eagles at home.
At $2.45 I’m backing the Suns to win here.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Gold Coast Suns to win at $1.58 odds.
