Port Adelaide vs. Western Bulldogs Predictions

Best Bet

Western Bulldogs @ $1.87

It hasn’t been easy for the Bulldogs recently after losing four on the bounce, but we fancy their chances of beating Port Adelaide.

The Bulldogs tried hard against Fremantle, where they had a healthy halftime lead. It wasn’t meant to be in the second half, but they battled back well in the fourth quarter, and they’re good enough to beat the Power with a similar performance.

Port Adelaide has played well recently, having posted a win against Geelong, and losing to Hawthorn and Adelaide by a combined four points. However, they tend to find ways to lose, and if the Bulldogs are close to their best, it should be enough to win.

Punters should expect a close game, but there is value with the road team.

Same Game Multi

Western Bulldogs H2H, Marcus Bontempelli 2+ Goals, Cody Durden 2+ Goals, Total Points Under 182.5 @ $8.75

Bet Now

Punters have cashed in with Marcus Bontempelli in the last two weeks, and there is no reason to jump off his back. The Bulldogs captain has four goals from his last two games, so the $2.40 odds are a great boost to AFL multi bets.

Cody Durden is also kicking well for Port Adelaide, having scored a double in his last two games. There is tidy value for Durdin to kick 2+ goals at $1.86, so it’s another value bet for our AFL SGM picks.

Our final score prediction has the Bulldogs winning 90-84, so we’re including under 182.5 to boost payouts.

Best Value Bet

Marcus Bontempelli 3+ Goals @ $5.60

Bet Now

The Bulldogs need their best player to step up with the pressure on, and although kicking goals isn’t his priority, he could have a big game in front of goal.

He hasn’t had a 3+ goal game for some time, but he’s getting chances, and that’s all punters can ask for when taking the $5.60 odds.

It’s a fair price, and this is a good situation to take Bontempelli to kick three goals.
