GWS Giants welcome Port Adelaide to Engie Stadium on Sunday, June 16, for the last fixture in the AFL Round 14. In the previous round, the Giants lost to Hawthorn, while the Power were defeated by Carlton in their last outing.
The Giants were displaced from the top eight by Western Bulldogs after their Round 14 victory over Fremantle. That means they need a win to reclaim their spot. Their form, however, has been shaky with only one win in five games.
Port Adelaide, meanwhile, will be out for revenge against the side that eliminated them from the preliminary finals last season. They come into this clash fully rested after a Round 13 bye.
Before the break, the Power lost to loop Carlton Blues, ending a run of three wins on the bounce. They are 4th in the standings and could displace Essendon from third position with a win on Sunday.
The Giants have been decent playing at home with four wins in five home matches. Port Adelaide have also won their last two matches away from home.
That being said, expect an end-to-end encounter at the Engie Stadium. The Power are in better form, making them the best bet for a win.
