We have West Coast vs. Sydney predictions for AFL Round 4 on Saturday, April 4 at 7:35pm at Optus Stadium.
The Swans have firmed into $1.24 to beat West Coast, and although improved in 2026, the Eagles could struggle this Easter weekend.
West Coast vs. Sydney Predictions
—
Best Bet
In years gone by, the Eagles would have been +55.5 underdogs against Sydney, so the –26.5 line for Sydney is too good to turn down.
It has been a good start to the year for the Swans, who started with wins over Carlton and Brisbane before losing to Hawthorn. They didn’t lose too many admirers with that performance, and a bounce back win is highly likely.
West Coast comes off back-to-back wins for the first time in a while, but those wins came over North Melbourne and Port Adelaide, so the form guides aren’t strong. Therefore, our AFL picks this week include Sydney –26.5, in what should be a one-sided affair at Optus Stadium.

Same Game Multi
Charlie Curnow didn’t score against Brisbane, but he fired back with two goals against Hawthorn in a losing effort. His first game of the year resulted in a three-goal performance, and he’s due another this week.
Isaac Heeney comes off consecutive two-goal games, so the $1.86 odds for 2+ goals is worth taking. He’s a confidence player who thrives on momentum, and he should get ample opportunity to kick a couple of goals against West Coast.
They combined for 169 points in their most recent contest, with West Coast scoring just 51 points. That’s why we’re locking in under 181.5 points.

Best Value Bet
Tom McCartin 8+ marks is our best AFL value bet. He had eight marks against the Lions in Round 1, and he’s good enough to produce the goods against West Coast.
There hasn’t been much money for him to post 8+ marks, with most of the money coming for Callum Mills in that department. However, we expect the Swans to spread the ball around, and that should see his total increase.
The $3.25 odds are generous enough to have a small bet on him.
