St Kilda vs. Port Adelaide Predictions

We have St Kilda vs. Port Adelaide predictions for AFL Round 18 on Saturday, July 11 at 1:15pm at Marvel Stadium.

Super Saturday starts with the Saints vs. Power, where the Saints are –10.5 favourites to post consecutive wins.

Best Bet

St Kilda –10.5 @ $1.90

St Kilda has already beaten Port Adelaide this season, winning 81-67 at Adelaide Oval. That’s the best form guide for this game, and they could improve to 2-0 against the Power.

Consistency has been tough for St Kilda, who are 12th on the AFL ladder. However, they have two wins from their last three games, and the only recent loss came against the Western Bulldogs in a close game.

Port Adelaide comes off back-to-back wins over Adelaide and North Melbourne, which were quality performances. Despite sitting 15th on the ladder, the Power has turned things around, which is why they’re being respected in the market.

However, St Kilda is 2-0 in their last two games against Port Adelaide, with both wins coming at the Adelaide Oval. Port has a good road record against St Kilda, but with the Saints looking to push for a finals spot, they should come up with the goods.

The –10.5 line is one of our better AFL bets this week.

Same Game Multi

St Kilda –10.5, Jack Higgins 2+ Goals, Cooper Sharman 2+ Goals, Total Points Under 171.5 @ $9.00

Bet Now

Jack Higgins and Cooper Sharman are our top picks to kick 2+ goals. Higgins kicked a double last week, and he has 13 goals in his last five games, so he’s on fire. The $1.92 odds are overly generous from bookmakers, and they give same game multi odds a big boost.

Sharman has only two goals from his last two games, but that followed a two-game stretch where he scored six goals. St Kilda could do with him getting amongst the scoring action, and we’re backing him in at $2.08.

They are usually low-scoring games between St Kilda and Port Adelaide, with only 148 points being scored last year. Include under 171.5 points in multis.

Best Value Bet

Jack Higgins First Goal Scorer @ $11.50

Bet Now

We expect Higgins to make a big impact early in the game, and punters get a healthy $11.50 for him to score the opening goal.

He will need to contend with teammate Liam Ryan to get the first goal, but St Kilda should want to get Higgins involved early to move the defence away from Ryan.

The odds make him a worthwhile value bet.
