THE Eagles are seeking to atone for a horrific 75-point loss to Geelong last Saturday night, while the Power destroyed the Brisbane Lions and will be looking to carry on the momentum from that 113-point win.

Port Adelaide does not have a good recent record at Patersons Stadium. The Power have lost their last four at the venue, and six of their last seven in Perth.

The game will be won and lost in the midfield and both sides are well down on clearance numbers compared to the rest of the league.
 
Port Adelaide hold a slight edge in contested possessions per game (145 to 139) which is an area of concern for Eagles coach Adam Simpson.
