Adelaide Crows are at home and in form - this is a matchup that heavily favours the Crows. North Melbourne are in the bottom four and lack the midfield quality to compete at Adelaide Oval. The -17.5 line represents solid value for a Crows side showing genuine improvement.

Adelaide Crows

WWLWW

Last 5: WWLWW

Adelaide are in strong form (WWLWW) with Rory Laird providing elite spread from half-back and Ben Keays driving the midfield. At home on Adelaide Oval they should command significant territory against a North side in poor form.

North Melbourne

LWLLL

Last 5: LWLLL

North Melbourne have struggled for consistency all season (LWLLL) without their best forward combination. They have limited ability to hurt Adelaide at home and concede big margins when outclassed in the midfield.

Adelaide have won 6 of the last 8 meetings. The Crows are undefeated at Adelaide Oval in 2026.
