Geelong Cats vs Port Adelaide Power Prediction & Betting Tips: AFL Round 9 2024

The Geelong Cats experienced their first loss of the 2024 AFL season at the hands of the Melbourne Demons last weekend. This Friday, they take on Port Adelaide Power in an attempt to get back in the winning circle and regain momentum.

Port Adelaide also had a disappointing round 8, losing to their local rivals, the Crows, by 30 points. Port played lazily, wasting numerous opportunities to score. They’ll need to bring their very best in their match against Geelong.

Geelong Cats vs Port Adelaide Power Preview

Geelong will be hoping for a win this Friday vs Port. The Cats lost their first match in round 8. The Demons were able to come back and win the game despite Geelong’s third-quarter lead.

We’ve not seen the Cats come back from a loss in a long time, so it will be interesting to see how they do against a powerhouse like Port Adelaide.

Despite being a top-eight team, Port Adelaide have a notable weakness: scoring. They have failed to score 90 points in their last four games. This also cost them their last game against the Adelaide Crows, losing by a mere five points. When facing a team as ruthless as Geelong, this is not a weakness you can afford to have.

We don’t see this matchup going well for Port Adelaide. The result will likely be the Cats getting their eighth win of the 2024 AFL season.
