Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide Crows Preview
It’s crunch time this week for the Dogs as they hope to snap their three-game losing skid.
Last week’s 24-point loss to the Lions was a disappointing result for a club that at one point appeared a genuine finals contender, but all hope is far from lost as the Dogs sit just two points shy of Collingwood in 10th.
The Crows remain winless at time of publish and it’s difficult to see them breaking that streak on only four day’s rest.
Adelaide lost by 34-points when these two sides met late last year in Ballarat and the stats certainly suggest we could be in for another blowout.
Not surprisingly, the Crows lead the league in average goals allowed to opponents and inside 50 entries.
This looks a great opportunity for the Dogs to rediscover their spark against a Crows outfit destined for the wooden spoon.
