Port Adelaide Power vs Hawthorne Hawks Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: AFL Round 10, 2024

Port Adelaide Power face the Hawthorn Hawks at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday in Round 10 of the AFL. Both teams are coming off strong wins and will look to build on that.

The Power beat the Geelong Cats, one of the strongest teams in the league, 101-95 in their last game. They went into the match as the underdogs against the Cats, who had just lost their first game of the season.

Despite the absence of skipper Connor Rozee, they made it two straight losses for Geelong. This was Port's first victory at the Cattery since 2007. Port made a powerful statement in the last round and will look to do the same against Hawthorn this weekend.

Hawthorn have won their last two games, beating the Western Bulldogs 98-91 and St. Kilda 73-64. Although they’re yet to defeat top ranking teams, the Hawks have shown that they’re not pushovers.

The Power will be slightly nervous heading into this match, considering their 50-point loss to the Hawks at the Adelaide Oval in 2022. This season, though, it's clear that Port is a level above Hawthorn. Hawthorn will certainly bring the fight to Port, but the Power should win with little difficulty.
