Looking to square their ledger at 5-5 in 2026, GWS will visit a struggling West Coast side at Optus Stadium to close out Round 10.

GWS improved to 3-1 across their home venues this season by overturning a 26-point third-quarter deficit to defeat Essendon 103-89 at ENGIE Stadium last Saturday.

Contrastingly, the Giants are 1-4 on the road this season, while their single victory came in Gather Round against last-placed Richmond.

With that said, given recent form it is difficult to see how the Eagles could add another loss to GWS’s tally, having lost their last six matches by an average margin of 62.3 points.

West Coast’s latest result actually reduced that average, falling 99-67 to Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.

GWS has obliterated West Coast in each of their last three head-to-head meetings, including a 111-52 result at Optus Stadium during Round 17, 2025.

Things are looking good for GWS in this one as they look to get their season back on track.

West Coast Eagles vs GWS Giants Match Predictions and Betting Tips

Head-to-Head Prediction

And we end the weekend with a clash between West Coast and GWS. The Eagles kinda hung tough against the Dees, but it seemed more like an indifferent level of concentration from Melbourne, rather than anything significant from the Eagles.

The Giants needed most of the game to overcome Essendon, which is worrying, but all you can do is win and they won.

In our view, they’re not a strong contender this season.

There are too many holes and a few good players down on form. We give West Coast a small chance here, but it’d be a story if they could upend Adam Kingsley’s men.

Head-to-head prediction: GWS Giants by 25 points.

First Goal Scorer Prediction

First goal to Toby Greene. He hit his stride last week and we’re hoping that he continues to build into the season.

Toby Greene at his best is one of the most entertaining players to watch in the league; he’s the ultimate competitor and is as dogged as anyone in the league.

We can see Greene forcing early errors into the inexperienced West Coast mids; taking possession and simply willing the Sherrin through the sticks.

Even down on form, Greene remains the heart and soul of the Giants' attack.

Betting tip: Toby Greene.

Most Disposals Prediction

Clayton Oliver is our pick for most disposals. The Giants' star signing will be looking to dominate this match as a confidence builder heading into the back half of the season.

And he’ll be able to against a West Coast midfield that

Oliver's ability to find the football in tight spaces and drive the team forward makes him the primary candidate to lead the stats sheet.

Betting tip: Clayton Oliver.
