Port Adelaide Power vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The Power and the Dogs are both looking to make it two wins on the trot on Saturday when they meet in a potential finals preview between second and third.
Port cruised to a comfortable 49-point win over the Crows in The Showdown last week, while the Dogs again came from behind to defeat Carlton with a huge six-goal final quarter.
The bookies are siding with the Power in betting, but it wouldn’t be surprising if we get a low-scoring game between these two.
Both Port and the Dogs rank bottom five in goals allowed to opponents this year, while they’ve also been two of the toughest sides to get the ball inside 50 against.
The Power have an obvious advantage playing at home, but it is worth noting the last three games between the two sides have all gone Under the Total.
With a big game atmosphere and plenty of pressure, it wouldn’t be surprising if both sides play a fairly composed brand of footy.
