NRL Footy Tips Round 25
Cowboys vs Sharks
Thursday, August 17, 2023
7:50 PM @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium
Based on recent statistics, Cronulla has a clear mental edge, having won nine of its last ten matches against North Queensland. Additionally, their performance in night matches and ability to cover the line even with a rest disadvantage further strengthens their position.
Though the Cowboys will be fired up wanting another win this close to finals, this week we just don’t see it happening.
Considering these factors, it’s reasonable to predict a victory for Cronulla Sharks with a final score of 24-18. Their odds of 2.34 reflect a strong chance of success, making them a wise choice for those looking to back a winner.
Betting Tip: Sharks @2.35
Suggested Bet: Sharks WINNING MARGIN 1-12 @3.30
Warriors vs Sea Eagles
Friday, August 18, 2023
6:00 PM @ Go Media Stadium
The New Zealand Warriors are in impressive form, having won each of their last five matches. This winning streak and favourable 1.22 odds indicate a strong position for the Warriors.
On the other hand, Manly’s recent night matches have consistently gone UNDER the total match points line, suggesting a potentially low-scoring game.
Considering the Warriors’ momentum and Manly’s recent performance, a victory for the New Zealand Warriors seems likely, with a realistic final score of 18-10. Their current form makes them the clear favourites in this match-up.
Betting Tip: Warriors @1.22
Suggested Bet: Warriors WINNING MARGIN 1-12 @3.10
Eels vs Roosters
Friday, August 18, 2023
8:00 PM @ CommBank Stadium
The face-off between Parramatta Eels and Sydney Roosters is shaping up to be a compelling encounter. Sydney’s recent track record reveals a vulnerability, losing each of its last seven matches when playing with a rest disadvantage. Additionally, Sydney’s failure to cover the line in its last four games at CommBank Stadium further tilts the balance in Parramatta’s favour.
With nine of the last 11 matches between these teams going OVER the total match points line, a high-scoring game is anticipated. Considering these factors, Parramatta Eels, with odds of 2.28, appear poised to win.
A realistic final score prediction would be Parramatta Eels 26, Sydney Roosters 20, reflecting the trends and the competitive nature of this match-up.
Betting Tip: Eels @2.25
Suggested Bet: Eels WINNING MARGIN 1-12 @3.25
Wests Tigers vs Dolphins
Saturday, August 19, 2023
3:00 PM @ CommBank Stadium
The upcoming match between Wests Tigers and the Dolphins presents an interesting scenario. Wests Tigers are in a slump, having lost each of their last ten matches, a statistic that cannot be ignored. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have shown a pattern of going UNDER the total match points line in their last four away matches, hinting at a potentially low-scoring affair.
Additionally, the trend of teams failing to cover the line after playing New Zealand may further impact Wests Tigers.
Despite the odds favouring Wests Tigers at 1.38, the Dolphins’ odds of 3.00 and the current trends suggest an opportunity for an upset.
A realistic final score prediction would be Dolphins 16, Wests Tigers 12, reflecting the Dolphins’ potential to capitalise on Wests Tigers’ recent struggles and show their force in their starting season.
Betting Tip: Dolphins @3.05
Suggested Bet: Dolphins WINNING MARGIN 1-12 @4.20
Titans vs Panthers
Saturday, August 19, 2023
5:30 PM @ Cbus Super Stadium
Penrith’s remarkable form is evident, having won each of its last 11 matches as a favourite, and their odds of 1.07 reflect this dominance. Penrith’s ability to win both halves in five of its last six matches further solidifies their position as strong contenders.
However, Gold Coast’s performance against reigning premiers should not be overlooked, as they have covered the line in eight of their last nine matches in such situations. Also, each of Gold Coast’s last four night matches going UNDER the total match points line suggests a potential low-scoring game.
Despite Gold Coast’s resilience, Penrith’s consistent winning streak and overall performance make them the clear favourites.
A realistic final score prediction would be Penrith Panthers 22, Gold Coast Titans 10.
Betting Tip: Panthers @1.08
Suggested Bet: Panthers WINNING MARGIN 13+ @4.00
Dragons vs Storm
Saturday, August 19, 2023
7:35 PM @ WIN Stadium
The upcoming match between St. George Illawarra Dragons and Melbourne Storm is set to be an intriguing battle. The statistics reveal a clear pattern, with the favourite winning each of the last 11 matches between these teams. With odds of 1.15, Melbourne Storm are the clear favourites and are likely to continue this trend.
However, St. George Illawarra’s recent performances should not be disregarded. They have lost each of their last three matches by a narrow margin of 1 to 12 points, and the underdog has covered the line in each of their last five matches. Additionally, each of St. George Illawarra’s last four matches going UNDER the total match points line indicates a potential low-scoring game.
Considering these factors, Melbourne Storm appears poised to win, but St. George Illawarra is likely to put up a strong fight.
A realistic final score prediction would be Melbourne Storm 18, St. George Illawarra Dragons 10.
Betting Tip: Storm @1.17
Suggested Bet: Storm WINNING MARGIN 1-12 @3.25
Knights vs Rabbitohs
Sunday, August 20, 2023
2:00 PM @ McDonald Jones Stadium
The clash between Newcastle Knights and South Sydney Rabbitohs is shaping up to be a closely contested match. Newcastle’s recent form is impressive, having won each of its last six matches, and their ability to win both halves in their last three home matches further strengthens their position. Their odds of 1.99 reflect a strong chance of success.
On the other hand, South Sydney’s recent struggles are evident, as they have failed to cover the line in each of their last five matches. Additionally, each of South Sydney’s last three matches going UNDER the total match points line suggests a potential low-scoring game.
Considering these factors, Newcastle’s momentum and home advantage make them a compelling choice for victory. South Sydney’s odds of 1.79 indicate a competitive match, but their recent performance may hinder their chances.
A realistic final score prediction would be Newcastle Knights 20, South Sydney Rabbitohs 14.
Betting Tip: Knights @2.10
Suggested Bet: Knights WINNING MARGIN 1-12 @3.40
Raiders vs Bulldogs
Sunday, August 20, 2023
4:05 PM @ GIO Stadium
Canberra’s dominance over Canterbury is evident, having won each of its last seven matches against them, and their odds of 1.34 reflect this strong position. Furthermore, Canberra’s recent victories against Canterbury by a narrow margin of 1 to 12 points indicate closely fought battles.
However, Canberra’s tendency to fail to cover the line in six of its last seven matches as a favourite adds an element of uncertainty. Additionally, eight of Canterbury’s last nine matches going OVER the total match points line suggests a potentially high-scoring game.
Considering these factors, Canberra’s consistent winning streak against Canterbury makes them the favourites, but the match will likely be competitive.
A realistic final score prediction would be Canberra Raiders 26, Canterbury Bulldogs 18.
Betting Tip: Raiders @1.34
Suggested Bet: Raiders WINNING MARGIN 1-12 @2.85
