The prediction

Port Adelaide (15th) broke a four-game losing streak with a 66-50 upset victory over GWS in Round 13. That was their first win in five games.

Melbourne (14th) come off a heartbreaking 72-71 loss to Collingwood in the King's Birthday blockbuster. After a strong month, they have won just two of their last five matches.

Zak Butters was back to his best for the Power against the Giants with 32 disposals, 21 contested possessions and 12 clearances.

Melbourne's midfield star Clayton Oliver did all he could against the Magpies, finishing with 30 disposals and 9 clearances.

The last time these two sides met in Round 22, 2024, Port emerged victorious by just 2 points in a low scoring affair at the MCG. Melbourne won 96-89 last time they clashed in Adelaide.

Port Adelaide will be sharpened after their win, while Melbourne will be rueing their narrow defeat and are determined to respond.
