<p>Then there were four! After a couple of very different, yet equally entertaining Semi Finals last week, the 2024 AFLW Preliminary Finals have been set.</p> <p>First up we have flag favourites North Melbourne, who are fully rested after a week off, welcoming Cinderella story Port Adelaide to Ikon Park.</p> <p>Will it be business as usual for the Roos or will the Power slay another giant and continue their fairytale run?</p> <p>The second Prelim sees two very evenly matched teams battle it out for a place in the AFLW Grand Final.</p> <p>The Brisbane Lions who finished the regular season in 3rd, welcome the Adelaide Crows, who finished just one spot below them, to town.</p> <p>The head-to-head odds have that clash as effectively a coin flip, but who will fortune favour on game day?</p> <p>For the latest analysis, odds and betting tips for that massive matchup up, as well as for the North Melbourne vs Port Adelaide game, check out our expert AFLW Preliminary Finals tips and predictions below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>North Melbourne vs Port Adelaide Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Saturday, November 23, 3:05pm AEDT – IKON Park</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>After recording the biggest final-quarter comeback in AFLW history, Port Adelaide, against all the odds, find themselves one win away from qualifying for the big dance.</p> <p>Despite being near 5/1 underdogs before their Semi against Hawthorn, the Power managed to get the job done and in the most dramatic fashion.</p> <p>Entering the final quarter trailing by 22 points, Lauren Arnell’s side somehow pulled off the unthinkable.</p> <p>Gemma Houghton, Matilda Scholz and Abbey Dowrick were the heroines, combined for four fourth quarter majors to see their side home by a solitary point under the IKON Park lights.</p> <p>This week they return to the scene of their historical comeback, however with the toughest of all opponents waiting for them.</p> <p>North Melbourne is their name and winning is their game. The Roos are yet to blink in 2024 and have made it this far without losing a game.</p> <p>When Port Adelaide met them earlier this year in the regular season, it wasn’t pretty as they became one in a long line of victims, being dismantled 42-6 by the Blue and Whites.</p> <p>A lot has changed since then with the Power currently on an eight-game winning streak, but has there been enough evolution to back them in here?</p> <p>As much as we want to say yes, as it would be a headline writer's dream if they were to knock off the Roos, we simply can’t do it.</p> <p>It has been apparent from very early on that 2024 seems to be North Melbourne’s year and it will take a full game worth of the effort they showed in Q4 last week to upset the Blue and White apple cart here.</p> <p>Still, this should be much closer than most are anticipating, as Port Adelaide have shown they will not be going quietly this year.</p> <p><strong>Prediction: </strong>North Melbourne.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Super margin: North Melbourne 1-9.</p>
