St Kilda Saints vs Port Adelaide Power Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: AFL Round 16, 2024

The St Kilda Saints and the Port Adelaide Power will kick-start Sunday footy proceedings when they clash at Marvel Stadium at 1:10 pm (AEST) in the AFL Round 17. The Saints with a 5-9 record are virtually out of the qualifying finals chase but will be eager to end a run of five straight losses to the Power.

St Kilda won back-to-back games against the West Coast and Gold Coast before losing to Brisbane in Round 14. However, it must be stated that they produced one of their finest performances against the Lions, scoring 106 points, their highest so far this season.

Mathematically, the Saints still have a chance to make a late surge for the top eight. To do this, they need to show a strong attitude moving forward, starting with Sunday's match against the Power.

Port Adelaide (8-6) has not won any of their last three games and another loss would greatly harm their chances of making it to the playoffs. In the previous round, they were heavily defeated by Brisbane, losing by 79 points.

The Power have demonstrated their dominance over the Saints in recent years, making them heavy favorites in this clash. With a playoff spot on the line, they will be fully committed to asserting their superiority over St Kilda.
