In the round eleven of the Australian Football League, Fremantle Dockers will play the Port Adelaide Power at Optus Stadium. The two teams last meetings have ended in the Power’s favour.

Fremantle Dockers: Form and Statistics

The Fremantle Dockers were able to return to winning ways against the GWS Giants the previous weekend and will hope for a similar result here. In that encounter, Fremantle Dockers had a dominant performance, winning each of the quarters, with their best performance coming in the third which ended 5-23. However, that win was the home team’s second in their last five matches, having lost to Melbourne Demons, St Kilda Saints, and Collingwood Magpies in other encounters. 

Fremantle Dockers Team News

Sean Darcy is close to returning from injury for the game against the Port Adelaide Power. However, he might not get the start after Luke Jackson performed so well last weekend. Also, there is good news regarding Nathan O’Driscoll as he could start on the wing against the Port Power as Freo becomes healthier by the week.

Port Adelaide Power: Form and Statistics

There seems to be no redemption for this Port Power team as they have now lost their third game in a row. From bad to worse, the visiting team lost by 76 runs to the Geelong Cats last weekend, being their second biggest defeat in recent games, having previously lost 131-41 to Western Bulldogs. In the encounter against the Cats, Port Adelaide Power failed to win a single quarter, with their best result coming in the first which ended 16-19. However, their road performances have not been impressive either and will now face a tough time to deliver quality as they are in a difficult situation. Currently, playoff hopes are beginning to fade, as they sit 15th place with 16 points.

Fremantle Dockers vs Port Adelaide Power Match Prediction 24 May 2025

The Port Adelaide Power have been a solid side in this fixture, but with what they have displayed this season, it is difficult to expect any solid level of play from them. At the moment, the Fremantle Dockers have not been exceptional either, but it is just impossible to not to see them deliver class. However, while they won their last game, I think it is difficult to see the home team win by a huge margin, considering the bookmaker odds. Therefore, with Port Adelaide Power expected to prove stubborn, I will back them to cover the points, while we expect a lot of defensive play.
