Port Adelaide (14-7) will lock horns against their most fierce rivals Adelaide Crows (8-12-1) in the round 23 of the AFL in another highly anticipated 'Showdown' this Saturday night at Adelaide Oval.
The hosts have been in great form lately, surging up to second place in the standings with an impressive four-game winning streak.
Over the past seven matches, the Power have secured six victories, showcasing their ability to perform in various scenarios, whether it's thumping the league leaders or grinding out a result against the Demons last week.
The visitors may be on the verge of missing out on finals contention once again, but they have at least secured local bragging rights by winning the last three showdowns by an average margin of 36 points.
The Crows are gaining momentum as the season winds down, having notched up four victories in their last seven outings. If they can pull off an upset against their arch-rivals and thwart Port Adelaide's hopes of a top-four finish, they will head into the off-season with renewed confidence and a spring in their step.
