Carlton v Port Adelaide betting tips & prediction, AFL Rd 7 preview

WE’RE not sure if we can smell them coming just yet, but long-suffering Carlton fans finally have something to smile about, with the Blues sitting in eighth spot on the AFL ladder after winning three of their past four games. Welcome to our Carlton v Port Adelaide betting tips, predictions and odds analysis for their round 7 clash from the Gabba on Sunday afternoon.

Blues fans were ecstatic after whipping the Western Bulldogs by 52 points last week and piling on more than 100 points, a rare occurrence for the once mighty Carlton. But Port Adelaide poses an even sterner test, with the Ken Hinkley-coached Power top-of-the-ladder and coming off a convincing 17-point win over GWS.

We think the AFL betting sites have priced this one about right, with the Power the hot favourite at around the $1.43 quote, although they have lost Brad Ebert to suspension and Cam Sutcliffe (hamstring) from the team that defeated the Giants. Mitch Georgiades, Peter Ladhams, Riley Bonner, Sam Mayes, Tom Rockliff and Xavier Duursma have been included in the squad.

Carlton have been priced at $2.76 for the clash, with their stirring victory over the Dogs given even more merit by Patrick Cripps playing a rare quiet game after battling an injury concern. The likes of young forward Harry McKay, who booted three goals, Will Setterfield, Matthew Kennedy and Sam Petrovski-Seaton are leading the new breed of Blues. The Blues have included Callum Moore, Matthew Cottrell, Sam Philp and Zac Fisher in their squad, and are yet to make any omissions.

Carlton v Port Power prediction 19/7/20

Port Adelaide, when they are playing well, do not carry any passengers in 2020, but they showed a fortnight ago, when they lost to the Lions by 37 points they can have an off day, which could give the Blues a sniff. Having said this, Carlton and Port Adelaide’s best is a long way apart, and given the Blues have several injury concerns, including Cripps and ex-skipper Marc Murphy, we think beating the Power is going to be a bridge too far. Put the Power in your multibets with confidence. Our final Port Adelaide v Carlton prediction? Port by 22 points.
