Best Bet

Gold Coast –24.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

It would be a shame if Gold Coast missed out of a finals spot, but a win over Port Adelaide on Friday night gives it a chance.

The SUNS didn’t do their chances any good last week when losing to GWS, but a rebound win is on the cards against a Port Adelaide team suffering a long losing streak. The Power aren’t playing well, and they were hammered by Carlton last week.

That’s not a good form guide for a team facing the desperate SUNS, who should look to not only win, but improve their percentage with a comfortable win. Take the –24.5 line before money comes for the visitors.

Same Game Multi

Gold Coast –24.5, Ben King 3+ Goals, Ben Long 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Over 169.5 @ $4.50

Bet Now

The odds for our Port Adelaide vs. Gold Coast same game multi aren’t huge, but it has a good chance of cashing for punters.

Ben King and Ben Long have been worth backing throughout 2025, and they have been money for punters. King is our best chance to score 3+ goals, having scored 14 goals from his last four games. He is playing well, and he could have a field day against Port.

Long has 11 goals from his last four games, and although he’s only paying $1.57 to kick 2+ goals, he shouldn’t let punters down, and he boosts payouts.

Punters should include over 169.5 points, as the final score could be around 127-50.

Best Value Bet

Ben Ainsworth 2+ Goals @ $2.90

Bet Now

Ben Ainsworth kicked two goals in a high-scoring affair last week, and we’re backing him to have another 2+ goal performance.

He’s not a noted goal kicker, but he should get every chance of kicking goals against Port Adelaide’s suspect defence. Getting $2.90 is a good price from bookmakers, so he’s our best AFL value bet for this game.
