The second match today and the third match for Round 4 of the AFL season is between Collingwood and Port Adelaide. The match will be played in Adelaide at AAMI Stadium with the opening bounce commencing at 2:10pm local time. Last time these two teams played was Round 20 last year in which Collingwood thrashed Port Adelaide by one hundred and thirty eight points.

Both teams are coming off losses last week. Collingwood went into their match against Carlton as favourites but where thrashed embarrassingly where the Blues nearly double their score whilst Port Adelaide showed improvement but couldn’t quite overcome Sydney in which they lost by twenty two points.

Collingwood have come under fire during the week due to their dismal performances and will be looking to bounce back with a strong win away from home. Port Adelaide will be looking to regain their form from their first game where they beat St Kilda by four points, home ground advantage will be a massive bonus and it looks like it will be a tight contest despite Collingwood being the short priced favourite.

WHERE AND WHEN: Etihad Stadium, Saturday April 21, 2.10pm
LAST TIME: Collingwood 23.21 (159) d Port Adelaide 3.3 (21), round 20, 2011, at AAMI Stadium

Tip: Collingwood by 24 points.
