Port Adelaide Power vs Geelong Cats Preview
The match of the round takes place on Thursday evening at Adelaide Oval as Port Adelaide look to extend their winning streak to 11 against the Cats.
The defending premier find themselves in a precarious position out of the top eight with a record of 6-6 in what looms as an extremely important game.
It has been far from smooth sailing for the Cats with injuries to a number of key personal in the first half of the season, some of which will return after their bye.
While a number of Cats are still unavailable they will be bolstered by the return of skipper Patrick Dangerfield who is desperately needed in a very inexperienced midfield.
So many of Port Adelaide’s players have taken giant leaps froward this season and that has been the catalyst for their improved form and record.
Zak Butters, Conner Rozee, Todd Marshall, Dan Houston and Jason Horne-Francis are having career best years and the Power have a great mix of experienced players helping with the load.
Port have come up short enough in the head to head market ($1.60) and I’m struggling to tip them at that price.
Eleven of the last 13 matches between Port Adelaide and Geelong have gone UNDER the total match points line and that’s the way I’ll be playing this one.
