Port Adelaide Power vs Richmond Tigers Prediction: Can Tigers pull off another shocking victory?

Adelaide Oval will be the venue for round 2 of the Australian Football League game between the Port Adelaide Power and Richmond Tigers. The home team is well favoured to win this game, while the visiting side is the underdog. Below, I will preview this game and offer free betting options. 

Port Adelaide Power

Port Adelaide Power struggled the previous weekend in their opening day game and will hope to right their wrongs. In a disappointing 136-46 contest, Port Adelaide Power went behind by 21 points at the end of the first quarter and could only score 25 points in their last three quarters of the game. In the meantime, the Port Adelaide Power AAMI Community Series encounter against the St Kilda Saints ended in a 49-93 win. Ahead of this game, Port Adelaide Power have lost three of their last five matches from the previous season, losing to Geelong Cats and Sydney Swans in that run. Seated at the bottom of the standings with a 33.09 percentile, Port Adelaide Power will hope to win their first game of the season here. 

Richmond Tigers

Richmond Tigers pulled off a solid performance in their opening game of the season against Carlton Blues and will feel confident taking their chances again. Despite coming in as the underdogs, this team came from a poor first quarter performance to win, with the final three quarters ending 18-16, 32-17, and 25-12, as the final score ended 82-69. However, prior encounters to their season opener saw this team go winless in eleven matches. In that run, Richmond Tigers lost to Hawthorn Hawks, Carlton Blues, Fremantle Dockers, Port Adelaide Power, Collingwood Magpies, North Melbourne, St Kilda Saints, and Gold Coast Titans. Heading into this game, Richmond Tigers have four points and sit 7th in the league’s log with a 118.84 percentile. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Port Adelaide Power should get things right in this game despite a slow start to their season. While the Richmond Tigers were brilliant in their last weekend game, I believe they will be a tough side to beat here. Yet, this should be a one-sided game where Port Adelaide Power should dominate as they eye their first win of the season. Take the home team to win, and while I expect little solid play from the Richmond Tigers, I do not see them having a good offensive outcome.
