The Suns will be looking to keep their perfect record at home in tact when they host their bogey team Port Adelaide on Sunday afternoon.
Best Bet
One remarkable record will come to an end on Sunday.
The Suns have of course won each of their eight home games in 2024 (and lost all of their away games) while Port Adelaide have won 14 straight games against Gold Coast – the longest head-to-head winning streak in the AFL.
In fact, the expansion side’s only win over Port Adelaide was their first ever AFL win in 2011. They’ve lost every meeting since and it’s that stat we’ll be betting into this weekend.
The Power’s form continues to be a nightmare to follow but they remain a good bet against poor opposition, covering in 62% of games against bottom ten teams in the last three years, including a perfect nine from nine when outsiders.
The’ve also covered in ten straight games on the Gold Coast with an average winning margin of 33 points.
The Suns’ unbeaten run at home is seriously impressive, but they have benefited from a comfortable run of opponents, with only two of the eight victories coming against current top eight teams, including over Geelong where the visitors rested a host of stars.
Betting on Port Adelaide to back up their form is likely to cause a few heart palpitations but with Touk Miller missing, the visitors are the bet getting a goal start.
