Port Adelaide Power vs Adelaide Crows Prediction: Port Power will show dominance

In round 23 of the Australian Football League, Port Adelaide Power will play the Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval. The two teams are coming off a league victory, but Port Power is the home favorite. Can the Adelaide Crows end the Power run of victories?

The Port Adelaide Power made it four wins in a row last weekend against the Melbourne Demons on the road. In a game that ended 51-53, the Port Adelaide Power struggled to balance their system in that game and needed a 10-15 win in the 4th quarter to power a win. In the meantime, their prior victories came against the Richmond Tigers, Carlton Blues, and Sydney Swans. This season, the Port Adelaide Power have accumulated 56 points, leveling points with GWS Giants and Geelong Cats, who sit in 3rd and 4th place. 

The Adelaide Crows returned to winning ways the previous weekend against the Western Bulldogs, securing a 111-72 win. In that game, the Adelaide Crows had a very strong start as they won the first quarter 32-10. However, the second quarter was a close one, ending 28-24, but a 31-16 win in the quarter was good to put the Crows in the lead very well. Despite the Western Bulldogs winning the final quarter, it was not enough to deny Adelaide Crows maximum points in that encounter. Heading into this game, the Adelaide Crows have a 3-2 record in their last five matches and are seated 15th in the AFL. 

The Port Adelaide Power seem to be enjoying themselves right now, and I do not feel they will lose yet. The Adelaide Crows have not been playing too badly lately, but on the road, they might actually have a very tough time. The Port Adelaide Power are favorites at home but have a poor record in this fixture. Still, with what I have seen from them in the league this season, I will take them to win this one with a good margin, a game that should end with many points, given the Crows' recent offensive performances.
