Gold Coast Suns vs Port Adelaide Odds
Gold Coast Suns vs Port Adelaide Preview
In typical Gold Coast fashion, they continued their interstate struggles with another loss in Melbourne last week. However, returning home, they pose a dangerous challenge for Port Adelaide, who showed signs of improvement against the Bulldogs.
Mitch Georgiades, coming off a five-goal game, will be a key target for the Suns to shut down. Port Adelaide has struggled in contested areas recently, where Gold Coast thrives, particularly capitalizing on their home ground advantage and humid conditions.
The Suns’ ability to exploit defensive chaos through quick transitions and open up their forward line contrasts with Port’s recent defensive lapses. For the Power to succeed, they must establish dominance in stoppages and apply early scoreboard pressure.
While it’s challenging to see Port making a significant impact in Queensland, their recent form suggests they have the capability if they replicate their best performance.
