Port Adelaide Power vs Western Bulldogs Preview
It’s hard to question the Bulldogs 7-1 start to 2021 but they haven’t set the world on fire away from Marvel Stadium this season and it will be their undoing against a Port Adelaide outfit that has won 10 of their last 11 at Adelaide Oval.
The Western Bulldogs are 3-1 away from Marvel Stadium this season, but they only average 75.3 points, including scoring 104 against the Giants in Canberra but that required a nine-goal last quarter.
In their nine trips to Adelaide Oval, the Dogs have only scored over 76 points on one occasion, with a low-scoring grind falling straight into the hands of Port Adelaide here. Their last three contests with the Bulldogs have gone unders with an average total points of just 105.3 and 12 of the last 13 night games the Power have played in at Adelaide Oval have gone under the line as well.
Port Adelaide has won four of the last five against the Western Bulldogs and their ability to limit the Bulldogs scoring should see them clear the low line of 7.5.
There’s been a few alarm bells for the Western Bulldogs the last three weeks – Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval is potentially football’s ultimate test at the moment and one The Wolf doesn’t see them passing.
