Port Adelaide Power vs St Kilda Saints Prediction: Saints will get within the lines

At Adelaide Oval, Port Adelaide Power will play St Kilda Saints in round four of the Australian Football League. The two teams last meeting ended in Port Power’s favour. Can St Kilda Saints avoid a defeat as the underdogs? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Port Adelaide Power

The Port Adelaide Power are hoping to find their footing after a struggling start to the season. In their opener, this team lost to the Collingwood Magpies and then picked up a 140-68 win over the Richmond Tigers in week two. However, their last weekend game against the Essendon Bombers saw them end on the losing end. In a 72-60 contest, Port Adelaide Power started strong with a 17-23 win at the end of the first quarter. However, while they lost the second quarter, they did well to restore their lead in the second but a poor final quarter, which ended in a 28-10 defeat, saw them lose at full time. Ahead of this game, Port Adelaide Power have four points, leaving them 11th in the standings.

St Kilda Saints

The St Kilda Saints started their season with a poor performance against the Adelaide Crows, ending 135-72 after losing their preseason against Port Power. However, this team bounced back in their week two contest, coming against the Geelong Cats, ending 98-91. In the meantime, last weekend's performance against the Richmond Tigers saw this team pick up a 135-53 win. In that game, St Kilda Saints won three of the quarters, their lone defeat in the second, which ended 21-25. Ahead of this game, St Kilda Saints sit 8th in the standings, leaving them seated in 9th place.
