With both teams struggling to hit the scoreboard the under looks a strong play in Showdown 51.
Best Bet
Under 160.5 Points ($1.90)
The under has hit in four of the last five showdowns and with both teams struggling to hit the scoreboard in 2022 it looks a strong play once again.
Port dominated most of the key metrics against Hawthorn last week, but it was their inefficiency at either end of the ground, as well as the Hawks outstanding ball movement, that saw them lose by more than ten goals.
Adelaide look to be cellar dwellers once again this season. While the form of youngster Josh Rachele is encouraging, the Crows simply lack scoring power.
Port Adelaide night games at Adelaide Oval go under at the remarkable rate of 80% and five out of six Port games went under last year after a loss.
Same Game Multi
Under 160.5 Points / Port Adelaide H2H / Matt Crouch, Rory Laird, Zak Butters 25+ Disposals
Staying away from the goal kickers given that it looks like being a low scoring game. Port Adelaide should bounce back with a win against their hated rivals. Crouch and Laird continue to accumulate footy at will for Adelaide, while Butters has been a bright spot to start the season for Port.
Value Bet
Showdown Medal – Travis Boak ($5.00)
Boak has won two of the last three Showdown Medals and has started 2022 in red hot form. Interestingly Ollie Wines, the favourite, only averaged 25 disposals in two games against the Crows last season.
