Best Bet

Port Adelaide –5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Port comes off a disappointing loss to Sydney last week, but it should be too good for a Carlton team that isn’t playing its best footy.

The Blues were well-beaten by North Melbourne last week, which isn’t a good form guide, and although they lost only 84-73, the Kangaroos scored only nine points in the opening quarter and no points in the fourth.

Looking to capitalise on a team playing without confidence is Port Adelaide, which looked good when posting wins over GWS and Melbourne before losing last week. A bounce back effort is likely, and punters get a generous –5.5 line from bookmakers.

It could pay to snap up the line before it moves on game day.

Same Game Multi

Port Adelaide -5.5, Mitch Georgiades 2+ Goals, Darcy Byrne-Jones 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Over 164.5 @ $6.75

Bet Now

Two players who are due for a big scoring performance are Mitch Georgiades and Darcy Byrne-Jones. Georgiades had only one goal last week, which was a primary reason for their loss to the Swans.

However, he scored seven goals two weeks ago against Melbourne, and he could have another big performance this week. His odds aren’t big, but we’re happy to include him in our same game multis.

Byrne-Jones is a $2.45 chance to score 2+ goals. He had two goals against Melbourne, and he could replicate that effort. Given the odds, he’s worth including in picks.

Two of their last three meetings have gone over 164.5 points, and it could be a higher scoring game than most expect.

Best Value Bet

Mitch Georgiades First Goal Scorer @ $8.75

Bet Now

Except for Charlie Curnow, who is battling through injury, Georgiades is the most prolific goal scorer on the field, and he could get the action started on Thursday night.

His seven-goal outing against Melbourne is the best form guide for this game, and if Port Adelaide midfielders can get the ball into the forward 50, he should take advantage with set shots.

He’s the $8.75 favourite to kick the first goal of the game.
