Carlton Blues vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
Carlton will take on Port Adelaide on Easter Sunday and both teams have a point to prove.
Carlton went down to Gold Coast last round and after a brilliant start to the season questions are rightly being asked of whether the Blues are in it for the long haul.
Port Adelaide on the other hand are yet to win a game and with pressure mounting on coach Ken Hinkley every game from here could decide on whether or not he keeps his job.
Don’t really trust either side at the moment. I’ll tip the Blues but if they let me down then I can’t see myself trusting them again this season.
Betting Update:
Port Adelaide have had good support this week with punters thinking they’re a great chance to break their chain of losses against Carlton.
Port Adelaide opened at $2.65 earlier this week, they’re now into $2.30 and could continue to shorten.
Carlton remain the favourites for the match but worrying signs for Blues fans with them drifting to $1.62 after opening at $1.48.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Carlton Blues to win at $1.62 odds.
First Goal Scorer
