Marvel Stadium will host the afternoon encounter between Collingwood Magpies (4-3-1) and West Coast Eagles (2-6) in the Australian Football League this Saturday.
A stellar performance from Nick Daicos led the Magpies to a thrilling 79-85 victory over the Carlton Blues last weekend.
With that victory, Collingwood maintained their excellent form, making it four wins from their last five games. The Pies have picked up 18 points after eight rounds this season, placing them ninth in the rankings.
West Coast Eagles, meanwhile, suffered their second successive defeat last weekend against the Essendon Bombers, going down 71-77 at home despite putting on a resilient showing.
However, in their previous five games the Eagles have lost three, with the other two losses coming against the Sydney Swans and the Gold Coast Suns. West Coast currently sit in 16th place, having collected eight points in as many games.
