It is no league secret that the Suns are horrendous away from home, but if there's one place they have enjoyed visiting over the past couple of seasons, it is Optus Stadium, getting the victory in their past two games in Perth.
West Coast show flashes of good form but cannot put four quarters together and that will be the case against the Gold Coast this week. I do expect the Eagles to challenge the Suns in what is likely to be a high-scoring contest.
West Coast will score over their team total of 76.5 points against a Suns defence that isn’t the same away from home, however, the Gold Coast will escape with their first away win.
- The Suns have beaten West Coast by 27 points (2022) and 70 points (2023) in their past two matches at Optus Stadium.
- West Coast have lost 9 consecutive matches.
- The Gold Coast have conceded over 76.5 points away from home in 7 of 8 away matches.
- West Coast have scored 75+ points in their past two matches at Optus Stadium.
Head to Head
The Gold Coast have won the past 4 matches against the West Coast Eagles, including a 112 to 75 point win back in round 7 on the Goldy.
With the Gold Coast being so poor away from home it is interesting to note that they have beaten the Eagles in their past two matches at Optus Stadium.

West Coast’s skid continues with their loss in the Western Derby to Fremantle making it 9 defeats in a row for the Eagles. The upset was on with West Coast up by 19 points late in the second quarter, however a 34-point turnaround in the third quarter saw the chance slip away as the Dockers where clinical inside 50 with a 60.4% efficiency in the area and a 68% goal accuracy.
It was another chance gone begging for the Eagles who let the Dockers get under their skin and take the game away from them once again showing their immaturity and highlighting the fact that they are a few years off competing again in the AFL.

The Coast have let a perfect opportunity to make the finals for the first time in their 13-year existence slip away on the back of a 0-8 record outside of People First and TIO Stadium.
Their first home loss of the season came at the hands of the Q-Clash rivals Brisbane, who took the lead in the second quarter and never looked back, kicking the final 3 goals of the match to rub salt into the wounds of the Suns. Despite winning the Hit-Outs 51-29 the Gold Coast lost the clearances 43-31 and spent a lot of time without the ball.
Losing to Brisbane in a tough contest has now put pressure on them to win games on the road with 3 of the final 4 matches away, where they are winless. Damien Hardwick is going to have to work some of his magic if they are to achieve their goal of playing finals footy in 2024.
Gold Coast Team News
