Port has been improving their game steadily and have what it takes to take out the Magpies.
Nevertheless, it's worth noting that Collingwood are experiencing what might be the beginning of a winning streak, but it's still uncertain whether they’re back in premier winning form.
Adelaide have sailed through most of the season, but their scrap against Fremantle last week was a close one. They seem to be gaining confidence with each win and will look to go higher by beating the Magpies this weekend.
This game seems bound to be a close one, a recurring themes in meetings between the two sides, with three of their last games being decided by a goal. The Pies who will be sharper than they’ve been all season and should make Port pay for any shortcomings. But with a midfield as strong as Adelaide’s, it's difficult to see Collingwood getting past them.
