Western Bulldogs vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
The Dogs and Port meet at Marvel on Friday night in what is perhaps the most highly anticipated game of the season.
Sitting second and third respectively, the winner will have every chance to finish on top of the ladder should Melbourne lose to Geelong, while the loser could potentially slip as low as fourth.
We’re faced with some good value in the market, but like the ladder implications, betting on this game is fairly clear cut when you factor in the recent form of each side.
Port rolls into this game riding a five-game winning streak, while the Dogs are coming off two uncharacteristic losses to the Bombers and Hawks.
The injury to star forward Josh Bruce was noticeable last week as Luke Beveridge’s side managed only 13 shots on goal, and it’s safe to say his absence will be felt again this week against a Port team that has allowed the third-fewest goals in the competition.
Port also sports a strong 4-0 record at Marvel this year, making it increasingly difficult to back against the Power with so much on the line.
