Port Adelaide v Western Bulldogs tips, prediction & odds; AFL PF Preview 2021

Welcome to our Port Adelaide v Western Bulldogs tips, prediction and odds analysis for their AFL preliminary final at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday night. 

The Power will enter the clash as heavy favourites after defeating Geelong in their qualifying final, to move straight into a preliminary final, while the Bulldogs have won successive games against Essendon and Brisbane to navigate their path. 

The Power won the last clash between the two clubs, which came just weeks ago in round 23, by two points; however the Dogs won their round 9 clash by 19 points.

Australian betting sites have installed the Power at $1.45 to win this clash, with the Bulldogs ($2.78) not finding much love with punters. The $1.90 line has been set at 13.5 points, while the over/under mark for match total is at 157.5. 

The Power have talented forward Mitch Georgiades available for this clash after a hamstring injury, although coach Ken Hinkley may be reluctant to tinker with their forward line. They will also strongly consider tough midfielder Sam Powell-Pepper who has fallen out of favour in the second half of the season. 

The Western Bulldogs have suffered several blows with young star Cody Weightman ruled out with concussion, but they are confident skipper Marcus Bontempelli will play, despite a knee injury. We are predicting last week’s medical sub Jason Johannisen and veteran ruckman Stefan Martin to earn call-ups.

Big wins in finals from outside the top four seem to come naturally for the Western Bulldogs, but they are running into a team bursting with fitness and form on their home deck. While a positive start and tough opening half is expected, we think the Power’s fresher legs and fewer injury concerns will get them home. Our final Power v Bulldogs prediction? Power by 14 points.
