The Geelong Cats' chances of earning a position in the off-season have taken a significant knock as a direct result of their recent losing streak, which currently stands at two games in a row. As a result of this, the Cats' level of anxiety is at an all-time high. A setback at the hands of the Brisbane Lions by a score of 64-53 was immediately followed by a loss at the hands of the Fremantle Dockers by a score of 71-64. The Geelong Cats now have a total of 38 points and are in ninth place on the leaderboard after suffering these losses. In spite of the fact that the Cats are only two points behind the Western Bulldogs in eighth place, due to the exceptionally high level of competition on the ladder, the Cats cannot afford to continue losing points, or else they would be eliminated from contention for a postseason berth.

Port Adelaide Power - visiting side level of play has drastically dropped
Even though they are still in second place on the ladder with 56 points, the Port Adelaide Power are now going through a terrible losing streak of three games, which has caused them to fall eight points behind the Collingwood Magpies, who are currently in first place. Their humiliating defeat at the hands of the Adelaide Crows, 112-65, came at a time when their competitors were running wild. The previous two games were a loss to the Carlton Blues by a score of 122-72 and a loss to the Collingwood Magpies by a score of 85-83. Even though the Port Adelaide Power have already secured their position in the top spots, they will want to make sure that they do not enter the postseason with a losing streak behind them.
Expert Betting Tips
In this competition, I am going to take a chance on Port Adelaide Power since I do not feel any pressure to pick a winner given how poorly things have been going for them in recent times. However, the fact that the home team is typically favored when playing at their venue makes picking a winner extremely difficult. In spite of this, it is much better to take a chance on the total over here, as I anticipate a lot of offensive play from both teams.
