At the time of writing bet365 had the head to head for Cronulla Sharks is set at $1.50, and $2.60 for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:
Sharks
63.43%
Sea Eagles
36.57%
Opportunity Bet
The Sharks are paying $1.50, which suggests they win this nearly two-thirds of the time (63.43%). But our model brings them back to earth, giving them just a 48% shot. So that $1.50? Bit too short, not much value in backing the favourite here.
Manly, on the other hand, are looking very interesting. They’re paying $2.60, and while the market reckons they only win this 36.57% of the time, our numbers boost that to a confident 52%. That’s a decent edge, and a prime opportunity for a value bet.
In Summary
The value here is clearly with the Sea Eagles. While the Sharks are slight favourites in most eyes, our prediction actually has Manly taking the win. At $2.60, there’s strong value if you’re backing the Eagles to get the job done.
What to do?
With no home ground advantage for either team this week, the prediction solely comes down to how well these two team are playing, while the Sharks aren’t scoring as high as the Sea Eagles, the Sea Eagles are letting more tries past the post. Sharks have been keeping it tight with an eight point average losing margin which will tighten the score in this one.
Sea Eagles should take this one, but it will be close. Take the Sea Eagles at 1-12 for a solid bet.
