With an impressive winning streak in their last 12 matches as a favourite, and having won both halves in six of their last seven matches, Penrith’s form is undeniable. Parramatta, on the other hand, has struggled, failing to cover the line in their last seven matches.

Considering these factors, a realistic final score should be Penrith 28, Parramatta 8. The Panthers’ consistency and Parramatta’s recent struggles make this outcome highly likely.

St. George Illawarra’s record shows they have lost their last 20 matches as an away underdog, which doesn’t bode well for them. Conversely, the Warriors have been consistent, winning their last four matches by a margin of 1 to 12 points. Additionally, five of New Zealand’s last six matches have gone OVER the total match points line.

Taking these insights into account, a realistic final score prediction would be New Zealand Warriors 26, St. George Illawarra Dragons 18. The Warriors’ recent form and the Dragons’ struggles on the road make should shape this prediction nicely.

Betting Tip: Warriors

Suggested Bet: Dragons LINE (+17.5) @1.90

The Dolphins have been struggling lately, losing nine of their last 10 matches, while North Queensland has failed to cover the line in each of its last five matches as a favourite following a loss. Additionally, six of the Dolphins’ last seven matches have gone UNDER the total match points line.

Considering these factors, the Cowboys appear to have the edge, but it may be a closely contested match. A realistic final score prediction would be North Queensland Cowboys 20, Dolphins 14. The Cowboys’ slight advantage and the Dolphins’ recent form make this a probable result.

Betting Tip: Cowboys

Suggested Bet: Cowboys WINNING MARGIN 1-12 @2.95

Storm vs Titans

Saturday, August 26, 2023

3:00 PM @ AAMI Park

Melbourne’s record is formidable, having won each of its last seven matches at AAMI Park, and their last four matches against Gold Coast at the same venue by a margin of 13+ points. On the other hand, sixteen of the last 17 teams that have played Penrith have covered the line in their next match, which could favour the Titans. Additionally, eight of Melbourne’s last nine day matches have gone OVER the total match points line.

Taking these insights into consideration, a realistic final score prediction would be Melbourne Storm 34, Gold Coast Titans 18. Melbourne’s strong home record and recent form against the Titans along with Storms’ push for finals will inevitably result in a Melbourne win this week.

Betting Tip: Storm

Moreover, Sydney has won each of its last three matches against the Wests Tigers by a margin of 13+ points. The trend of the last five matches between these teams going OVER the total match points line also indicates a high-scoring game.

Additionally, Brisbane has won each of its last five matches by a margin of 13+ points. The trend of six of the last seven matches between Canberra and Brisbane going OVER the total match points line also suggests a high-scoring affair.

Considering these insights, a realistic final score prediction would be Brisbane Broncos 36, Canberra Raiders 22. Brisbane’s strong form and consistent performance in recent weeks will only further be solidified this weekend.

Considering these insights, a realistic final score prediction would be Newcastle Knights 22, Cronulla Sharks 16.
