Expert Betting Tips

The two teams need to be at their best, as I do not see an ultimate favourite here. At home, the Sydney Swans have the smaller odds but their performances at this venue this season have not been encouraging, with zero points accumulated. Yet, the Port Adelaide Power have lost their two road matches this season and there are doubts if they can do better looking at how poor they have been.

This should be a very close contest, but I still feel the Port Adelaide Power are performing so well to get back to their best and their Hawthorn Hawk’s performance is a testament to this. While the Sydney Swans have not been exceptional all season, I will back the Port Adelaide Power to cover the spread. Also, with the two teams weak in defence, I believe this game will end with many points.

Our first option is handicap W2(+21.5) with odds at 1.60 on the 1Xbet bookmaker.

Our second option is over 174.5 points with odds at 1.89 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
