PORT ADELAIDE faces St Kilda at Adelaide Arena at Jiangwan Stadium in Shanghai on Sunday afternoon.
It is the third year Port will play at the international venue, while the Saints will play at the ground for the very first time.
The Power and Saints currently sit 10th and 11th on the AFL ladder respectively with 5-5 records, which places significant importance on this clash for both sides.
The Power are coming off a 31-point loss to Hawthorn in Launceston last weekend, with a scoreless opening term to the Hawks’ four goals proving to be the difference, while the Saints snapped a four-game losing streak with a hard-fought 13-point win over Carlton.
When the two sides met in 2018, it was Ken Hinkley’s men who ran out 36-point winners, thanks largely to 30 disposals from Tom Rockliff and four goals from Charlie Dixon.
The Power will have to find different avenues to goals in Shanghai, with both Rockliff and Dixon ruled out of this year’s clash with the Saints through injury.
David Armitage was the best-performed Saint against Port last season, with 30 touches and three goals, but he also finds himself out of the senior side.
Port Adelaide have won the last seven contests between the two sides, and hold a 19-10 overall head-to-head record.
