The Baggies sit in third position and will go in as strong favourites against the Tigers, who are at the bottom of the ladder with 14.5 per cent.
The Tigers have only scored 49 points in its opening two games and will struggle against the more seasoned Swifts outfit playing on its home ground.
The Swifts’ forward line could be in for a day out, with Pimpinio’s defence also facing challenges in the opening two weeks.
The backline has conceded 338 points in that time.
The visitors have had two wins to start the season, against Taylors Lake and Laharum, but coach Scott Carey said the team would not take a win on Saturday for granted.
“I have played Pimpinio for many years, but at their home ground you never know what the day will bring,” he said.
“We are definitely going there and putting our strongest team out there to try and win.”
It has been a light week on the training track for the Baggies after a bruising round two encounter.
Carey said the focus had been on recovery and getting bodies right rather than working on skills.
