PORT ADELAIDE v RICHMOND
Saturday 20 July @ Adelaide Oval
One of the sub plots to end the season will be the chase or race or whatever you call it for the No 1 Draft spot and it might just come down to %.
Games like this could impact as Richmond go to Adelaide to face a Port side needing to rebound.
They were OK at best and disappointing at worst in losing to Gold Coast. That is foreseeable given the Suns record but as they never lose to the Suns, it made it worse.
Undisciplined acts, giving up an early lead and some poor goal kicking when it could have hurt leave them vulnerable in the pack.
In terms of winning this game it may not hurt as much but tells a tale. Richmond don't have the same aura.
They did try hard but found too many impact players in GWS. Port might not have as many outside the big midfielders but at home it will feel different.
Match | Port Adelaide | Richmond | Ground |
Last time they met | 18.14 [122] | 13.14 [92] | MCG |
Last 10 matches | 5 wins | 5 wins | |
Notes | Played in 2 Finals at the Adelaide Oval for a win each | ||
At the Adelaide Oval the results have alternated W/L in all 11 matches |
Remember Richmond did win this year against Adelaide there against the odds but twice is doubtful. Injuries here to both sides harm the contest as could the weather.
So Port to win but if they lose we might see some severe consequences.
Match Selection: Port Adelaide by 43 points
Suggested Bets: Port Adelaide 40+ @ $1.72 @ bet365
