The Melbourne Demons will look to end their poor run of games in this fixture and will come here hoping to secure maximum points. Last weekend against the Western Bulldogs, this team suffered a thrashing defeat in a 110-59 encounter and their run of losses extended to three in a row. In the prior encounters, this team lost to GWS Giants and Fremantle Dockers, games that ended 83-85 and 116-66, respectively. This season, Melbourne Demons have 40 points accumulated from 20 matches and are 8 points adrift of a playoff spot.
Port Adelaide Power
The Port Adelaide Power made it three consecutive league wins the previous weekend against the Sydney Swans and in this one, they will look to show dominance. In that encounter, the Port Adelaide Power won 148-36, complementing their 65-79 and 116-75 wins over Carlton Blues and Richmond Tigers in prior league games. In their last six games heading into this game, Port Adelaide Power have five wins, with their lone defeat coming against Gold Coast Suns. With 52 points this season, the Port Adelaide Power have moved to the third spot in the league standings, leveling points with 4th and 5th-placed GWS Giants and Geelong Cats.
Expert Betting Tips
The Melbourne Demons are a side to watch out for in this fixture. The first thing is that they have lost consecutive matches, which they will look to end in a home game. Also, the home side have dominated this fixture in past meetings. However, while the Port Adelaide Power have actually been at their best in recent matches despite a very sluggish start to the season, they are worth giving a chance. Yet, with a heavy loss to the Western Bulldogs last weekend, I expect the Demons to have an improved performance in defense and should be able to close the odds.
