Ten of Collingwood’s 11 victories in 2026 have come by 1-39 points. The Magpies have repeatedly found ways to win close matches, but they have rarely put opponents away and now travel to Perth without several important players. The FootyBets.com.au model has Collingwood winning by 25.8 points.
West Coast has lost eight consecutive matches, but the Eagles have remained competitive against several finals contenders. They lost to Brisbane by 24 points, the Western Bulldogs by 16 and Collingwood by only 10 earlier this season.
Under 170.5 is the preferred totals bet. Seven of West Coast’s past nine matches have finished below that mark. The Eagles have reached 100 points just once in 20 matches this season and are averaging 65.6 points across their past five.
Nick Daicos will again be required to carry a heavy workload through the midfield. He has collected at least 35 disposals in each of his past three matches and produced another 35 against Geelong despite receiving close attention from Oisin Mullin.
With Patrick Lipinski, Brayden Maynard, Harry Perryman and several other senior players sidelined, Daicos should remain at the centre of everything Collingwood does.
Key Points
- Ten of Collingwood’s 11 victories this season have been by 1-39 points.
- Collingwood is projected to win by between 21 and 26 points.
- Seven of West Coast’s past nine matches have finished below 170.5 points.
- Nick Daicos has recorded 35+ disposals in three consecutive matches.
West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood Magpies Head-to-Head
West Coast and Collingwood have each won 31 of their 62 meetings, but the Magpies have controlled the recent rivalry with seven victories from the past 10 encounters.
Collingwood has won the past four meetings by margins of 10, 29, 66 and 63 points. The most recent clash was significantly more competitive, with West Coast pushing the Magpies before falling 13.14 (92) to 12.10 (82) in Round 11.
West Coast Eagles Form
West Coast enters Round 22 sitting 16th with a 4-16 record after losing eight consecutive matches.
The Eagles were left to rue their inaccuracy in an 11-point defeat to Richmond last week. West Coast generated 28 scoring shots and won the inside-50 count, but its return of 9.19 prevented it from making the most of those opportunities.
Harley Reid produced one of his best performances of the season with 34 disposals and nine clearances.
West Coast has been more competitive than its losing streak suggests, but scoring remains a major problem. The Eagles have averaged only 65.6 points across their past five matches and have failed to reach 100 points in 19 of their 20 games this season.

Dan McStay was Collingwood’s leading player with a career-high five goals, while Darcy Cameron performed strongly in the ruck. Nick Daicos collected 35 disposals, although Geelong’s Oisin Mullin limited the impact of many of those possessions.
