In the upcoming Round 1 clash of the AFL 2025 season, Collingwood is set to take on Port Adelaide, with Collingwood being the favored team. Collingwood is looking to recover from a lackluster performance in their previous game against GWS. Despite their defeat, Collingwood displayed strengths in winning clearances, contested ball situations, and inside 50s. The game’s expected scoreline suggests that Collingwood could have performed better, with the margin being much narrower than the final result indicated.
Collingwood will benefit from the return of Dan Houston and hopefully a full game from Nick Daicos in the upcoming match. On the contrary, Port Adelaide will be missing key players like Houston, Zerk-Thatcher, Ratugolea, and captain Zak Butters. Collingwood has a strong track record against Port Adelaide, having won their last four encounters and covering the line in the last six games where they were the favorites against Port Adelaide.
The absence of crucial players in the Port Adelaide lineup could give Collingwood an edge in the upcoming game. Collingwood is expected to secure their first victory of the season based on their recent performances and historical dominance over Port Adelaide. The match is anticipated to be a significant opportunity for Collingwood to showcase their prowess and secure a win.
In terms of betting tips, Collingwood is predicted to cover the -7.5 margin. Additionally, players like Josh Daicos and Brody Mihocek are expected to make notable contributions to Collingwood’s performance. Daicos has been consistent in achieving 25+ disposals in his recent games, while Mihocek has a strong record of scoring 2+ goals against Port Adelaide. Mihocek, in particular, has been successful in scoring 3+ goals in three out of his last four games against Port Adelaide.
For those looking to place bets, the odds are in favor of Collingwood, with Mihocek being a valuable choice for goal-scoring opportunities. Overall, Collingwood’s strengths and historical advantage over Port Adelaide make them the team to watch in the upcoming Round 1 clash of the AFL 2025 season.
