Port Adelaide Power vs Sydney Swans 2013 AFL Round 13 preview and tips

Fourth placed Sydney travel Port where they look set to continue their domination of their hosts that stretches back for nine games, with the last time they suffered a defeat at the hands of Port being way back in round 2, 2006.

The average winning margin by Sydney in the most recent four clashes, is a whopping 44.2 points, making the -33.5 attractive and even more so, given that Sydney are coming off three big wins over Collingwood, Essendon and Adelaide whom they defeated by 47, 44 and 77 points respectively.

Port, who are 3-2 when playing at home this season (and 2-1 when home as outsiders), broke a five game losing streak last week with an emphatic 75 point win over GWS.

Whilst it will be pleasant for Port to have the winning feeling back, they’ll struggle to match it with a Sydney side that seems to be improving week on week.

TIP: SYDNEY -33.5
