Port Adelaide Power vs Adelaide Crows Preview

This season, the Crows have had three wins in seven games. Though their results have been inconsistent, they’ve been in remarkable form, never going down without a fight.

They got a win over Carlton, a club that has had a superb season. Although they lost to Essendon in round 6, they bounced back against the North Melbourne Kangaroos, winning 20.18 (138) - 12.9 (81).

Port Adelaide, meanwhile, have had a strong season, winning five matches and only falling short to Melbourne and most recently, Collingwood, in what were close matches.

Considering the recent form for both sides, Port Adelaide seems to have the edge. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to look past the Crows who have been very strong this season.

Port Adelaide captain Connor Rozee will likely miss Thursday's match due to a hamstring injury. Despite this disadvantage, Port Adelaide’s form is still superior to the Crows’. The Crows have been spiraling all season. Port has had better control and movement with the ball and will likely take control of this game.

Given the performances from both sides this season, it seems illogical to imagine Port losing this match. Their powerful midfield and dangerous forward line will be a serious threat to the Crows.

Adelaide will need to pull a rabbit out of a hat to stop Port. This match is shaping up to be another dominant performance for Port against the Crows.
