North Melbourne vs Collingwood Magpies Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: AFL Round 14, 2024

North Melbourne and Collingwood Magpies trade tackles at the Marvel Stadium on Sunday (June 16) in the AFL Round 14. On paper, the clash should be one-sided, but after securing their first win of the season in the previous round, fans will be eager to see how North Melbourne performs this week.

The Kangaroos beat West Coast in Round 13, ending an 11-match losing streak. They showed flashes of brilliance against the Eagles, recovering after giving up a healthy lead to snatch a deserved victory.

North Melbourne will be high in spirits heading into this clash. However, it has been over a year since they last recorded consecutive wins, making it difficult to foresee an upset against the defending premiers.

Collingwood will enter this clash full of confidence and hunger. The Magpies produced a scintillating King's Birthday victory over Melbourne in the previous round. Despite missing several key players, they handed the Demons a 38-point defeat at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The Pies are still short-handed but should easily dominate the Kangaroos. Nick Daicos sustained a knock in the King's Birthday match but has been cleared to feature in this clash.

Collingwood have won their last four meetings with North Melbourne with an average of 22.5 points. Nothing less than a comfortable victory is expected again.
