The Hawthorn Hawks made it two in a row by defeating the St Kilda Saints in their last game, but they shouldn't be a match for Port Adelaide.

Head to Head

The Hawks humbled the Power 120-56 in their last meeting in 2022. Before that, the Power had won two in a row.

Their last 10 meetings have seen the Power win six times, while the Hawks have four wins.

Port Adelaide Form

Port Adelaide have been excellent in recent weeks, and they are building an impressive winning run that has seen them move up to second on the ladder.

With a four-point gap between themselves and Collingwood at the summit, the Power know they need to keep winning if they are to see the pressure on the top side continue to grow.

With a single loss in six home games this year, and eight wins straight, the Power will be full of confidence confident.

Port Adelaide Team News

Todd Marshall returns from concussion in the only change for the Power.

Hawthorn Hawks Form

The Hawthorn Hawks have been in far better form of late, winning their last two in a row by downing both the West Coast Eagles and the St Kilda Saints.

Their win over the West Coast was not hugely surprising considering the Eagles have one win this season.

However, beating the now fifth-placed Saints was a strong showing and was by far Hawthorn's best effort of the year.

Hawthorn Hawks Team News

The Hawks will be without James Sicily due to suspension. James Scrimshaw comes into the line-up.

Verdict

Port Adelaide v Hawthorn

I am backing the Power to come away with the win in this one. I am backing a fairly tight game with the improving Hawks backed to keep it respectable.
