FREMANTLE and Adelaide will face off at Optus Stadium in the second match of the Good Friday.

The Dockers have been one of the surprise packets of the season so far with two victories from two starts.

While they will gladly bank the eight points from their come-from-behind wins over Brisbane and North Melbourne, the Dockers now have an opportunity to make a strong statement against another finals hopefuls on their own home deck.

Steady progression from Adelaide (0-2) over the past four seasons was broadly expected to continue this year in the push for a first finals appearance since 2017.

But the Crows are already on the ropes with a winless start to their season and need to turn around a 2-9 record away from Adelaide Oval since the start of last year, to start winning on the road and stay in touch with the top eight.

The Crows have dropped Sam Berry and lost Jordon Butts to an ankle injury, welcoming back James Borlase and Lachlan Sholl, while the Dockers are unchanged.
