Only one of Gold Coast and Sydney on Sunday afternoon will rejoin the winners list, with both sides coming into the Round 7 clash off the back of disappointing losses last week.
The Suns (4-1, 150.5 per cent) went down in a shock loss to Richmond last Saturday night at Marvel Stadium, ending their unbeaten run of form to start the season. Like Essendon, they have an extra game in hand to every other club after ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred postponed their Opening Round clash.
Meanwhile, the Swans (2-4, 101 per cent) are on the verge of going 2-5 for the first time since 2020, and having not won since Round 4, are desperate for a victory to keep in touch with the middle of the ladder.

Hosts Gold Coast have lost four of their last five games against Sydney, with the Swans also winning their last three clashes at People First Stadium.
Damien Hardwick has backed in the same 23 that played the Tigers, going in unchanged and maintaining what has been a very stable starting side throughout this season.
Dean Cox has swung two changes after their eight-point loss to Port Adelaide, recalling ruck Peter Ladhams and defender Ben Paton. Joel Hamling has been omitted, while Sam Wicks will miss through injury.
The first bounce at People First Stadium will hit the turf at 1:15pm local time, with the final teams and substitutes to be named an hour beforehand.
