Two in-form sides go head-to-head at Marvel Stadium on Thursday morning, as the Western Bulldogs prepare to host the Adelaide Crows in Melbourne.
The Bulldogs head into Round 14 of the AFL season on the back of a hard-fought 77-71 win over the Hawthorn Hawks to extend their winning streak to three.
Adelaide, following a 75-66 defeat to the Hawks, responded well last time out to edge the Geelong Cats 75-74.
All eyes are on Melbourne for this next encounter and Adelaide might well be the ones who head back to South Australia with the spoils.

Bulldogs v Adelaide Prediction
Best Bet: Adelaide to win @ 2.10
With the Crows winning six of their last eight matches, it’s a confident Adelaide side who will make the trip to Victoria this week.
The Bulldogs are in good form but they have been undone by the Crows at home in recent seasons and another victory for the visiting side is predicted on Thursday.
Adelaide have won two of their last three away games against the Bulldogs and, buoyed by their narrow victory over Geelong last time out, the Crows are backed to win at Marvel Stadium, where they are undefeated since 2023.
Alternative Bet: Over 179.5 total points @ 1.91
Expect an end-to-end shootout to occur when these in-form sides face off.
Going for the over 179.5 total points would have landed in all of the last three meetings between the Bulldogs and the Crows and that trend is tipped to continue in Thursday’s encounter.
