Round 19 v St Kilda (Multicultural Round)
Saturday 29 July, Adelaide Oval, 4.05pm ACST
Saints' form: WWWLL
Current ranking: 11
Percentage: 99.4
Premiership points: 36
Who they played last week: Sydney
Two losses to the Saints has them in a dire battle for a top eight berth. Of the teams on nine wins, they have the worst percentage and would need to win (and win well) over Port to rise into the eight. That's motivation enough. The Power are coming off a disappointing loss to Melbourne and need to bounce back on Saturday if they're to keep their top four quest alive.

Round 20 v Adelaide Crows (Showdown 43)
Sunday 6 August, Adelaide Oval, 4.10pm ACST
Crows' form: LWWWW
Current ranking: 1
Percentage: 139.9
Premiership points: 52
Who they play before this game: Collingwood
The Crows are back in form, and that's unwelcome news to Port faithful. Still, this game is always a 50/50 and the Power will be hunting this win as an opportunity to take a major scalp. At least the Crows haven't beaten anyone above them on the ladder...
Round 21 v Collingwood
Sunday 13 August, Adelaide Oval, 4.10pm ACST
Magpies' form: LLLWW
Current ranking: 13
Percentage: 96.7
Premiership points: 28
Who they play before this game: Adelaide, North Melbourne
A back-from-the-dead win over West Coast would have the Vicpies singing this week, but they need to get through a big ask against Adelaide, and then North Melbourne, before they look towards this trip to Adelaide Oval to face the Power.

Bulldogs' form: WLLWW
Current ranking: 10
Percentage: 98.2
Premiership points: 36
Who they play before this game: Essendon, Brisbane, GWS
The Bulldogs claimed a good win over Gold Coast in Queensland, but have the tricky challenge of negotiating a do-or-die clash against the Dons this week. Both are vying for a place in the top eight, and Essendon's form is pretty good. If the Dogs can beat the Dons, they then need to overcome Brisbane and the Giants before facing the Power.
Round 23 v Gold Coast
Adelaide Oval, Date and Time TBC
Suns' form: LWLLL
Current ranking: 15
Percentage: 83.3
Premiership points: 24
Who they play before this game: Richmond, Fremantle, Brisbane, Essendon
This will be the first time Port Adelaide has played Gold Coast since Round 8 in China. It's a tough run for the Suns building up to their season finale. Clashes against the in-form Tigers, then the Dockers, will be challenging.
