St Kilda Saints vs Port Adelaide Power Prediction: Port Power to step up in this fixture

St Kilda Saints and Port Adelaide Power will square it off at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. The two teams are coming off disappointing performances and will look to secure a win here. How will this fixture unfold?

St Kilda Saints were unlucky against the Brisbane Lions last time out in the league. In a game that ended 126-106, St Kilda Saints conceded 44 points at the end of the first quarter while scoring 13. However, the St Kilda Saints won the second and fourth quarters, but a poor third quarter could not cover the points gap at the end of the game. 

In the meantime, prior games to that defeat saw the St Kilda Saints pick wins over the West Coast Eagles and the Gold Coast Suns. Yet, those wins were the St Kilda Saints’ of their last six matches, as they ended on the losing end in their games against the Melbourne Demons, Fremantle Dockers and the Hawthorn Hawks. 

In the AFL this season, St Kilda Saints have 20 points from 14 matches, leaving them 14th in the league standings.

Port Adelaide Power are coming off a disappointing run of games, and in this game, they will look to step up their game. In their last encounter against the Brisbane Lions, this side was thrashed in a 73-152 encounter, coupled with prior losses to the GWS Giants and the Port Adelaide Power. 

Moreover, their prior three games to those defeats saw the Port Adelaide Power pick wins over the North Melbourne Kangaroos, Hawthorn Hawks and the Geelong Cats. This season, in the Australian Football League, Port Adelaide Power have 32 points accumulated from 14 matches, placing them last spot in the playoffs standings. 

The Port Adelaide Power should get things right in this fixture despite a run of poor plays. It is clear that the St Kilda Saints are home favorites, but they have not had any promising performances lately. This should be an offensive encounter with high points, but the Port Power should win at the end of the match.
