West Coast vs Port Adelaide Prediction & Betting Tips: AFL 2026 Round 13
Eagles on the Improve
West Coast returns to Optus Stadium this Saturday night sitting 15th on the ladder, but there is a clear sense of progression under Andrew McQualter. Last week’s 30-point victory over Essendon wasn't just a win; it was an emphatic statement that their young core is maturing. Harley Reid continues to be a handful at the stoppages, and the addition of prized recruit Brandon Starcevich this week adds much-needed composure to the defensive line. They aren't a powerhouse yet, but they have become a difficult proposition at home, playing with a level of grit that forces opponents to work for every possession.
Dark Days for Power
Port Adelaide arrives in Perth sitting 16th, facing a season that has been defined by agonizingly close losses rather than a lack of talent. While captain Connor Rozee remains sidelined with a long-term hamstring injury, the Power still possess elite operators like Zak Butters and Jason Horne-Francis who can break a game open in seconds. The loss of Kane Farrell to a groin injury this week is a significant blow to their transition game, though. Despite the injuries, they remain a dangerous side that can pile on goals quickly if they find their rhythm.
Recent H2H History & Betting Trends
The betting markets and recent history both suggest this will be a close encounter, especially after the fireworks in Round 3. West Coast stunned Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval earlier this season with a narrow 92-90 victory, a game defined by Jobe Shanahan’s heroics in the defensive arc. That win broke a long-standing trend of Port dominance, where the Power had routinely defeated the Eagles in previous years.
Power False Favourites?
Expect a genuine, physical arm-wrestle on Saturday night. Port Adelaide’s injury list and lack of polish is working against them, and the Eagles have developed a habit of lifting under the Optus Stadium lights. While the Power’s midfield ceiling remains higher, the Eagles' recent form is hard to ignore. Back West Coast to withstand the pressure and narrowly edge out the visitors in a tense, low-scoring affair.

With West Coast’s ball movement improving and the forwards getting cleaner looks inside 50, Jake Waterman has found some of his best form in season 2026. He’s kicked 3+ goals in four of his last five matches and has had 25 scoring shots over that five-match span. The Eagles are a red-hot chance against the Power on Saturday, so Waterman will find himself with plenty of goalscoring opportunities once again.
