Quick Insight

At the time of writing Unibet had the head to head for the Newcastle Knights set at $1.48, and $2.63 for the Gold Coast Titans, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:

Knights

62.65%
Titans

37.35%

 

The Betting Edge

The bookies have jumped right behind the Knights in this one, giving them a 62.65% chance of winning. But based on our deeper read of the numbers, this matchup is just about even, we’ve got the Knights at 50.66% and the Titans right on their heels at 49.34%.

That’s a pretty big gap between the market and reality, which makes the Titans at $2.63 a genuine value opportunity. If you’re looking to back a live underdog, Gold Coast is shaping up as a great shout.

Power Rankings Breakdown

Here’s how the two teams compare based on the latest performance metrics:

  • Average Points For: Titans by 7.5
  • Average Points Against: Knights by 12.5
  • Power Rank: Knights by 6 spots
  • Average Winning Margin: Titans by 5
  • Adjusted Points For: Titans by 11
  • Adjusted Points Against: Knights by 14
  • True Power Score (Weighted): Knights by 3.4
  • Win Percentage: Knights by 13%
  • Strength of Schedule: Slight edge to Titans (tougher opposition by ladder rank)
  • Average Opponent Ladder Rank: Titans by 1 (Titans: 8, Knights: 9)
  • Total Power Rank Score: Titans lead 11.33 vs Knights 15.17

Over/Under Tempo: 39,  expect a slower-paced, low-scoring grind.

Game Style Prediction: Grinder, this one’s likely to be tight and scrappy, where one or two key plays could swing it either way.

What to do?

Look, the Knights are solid and they’ve had the better win percentage, but the Titans’ underlying numbers are better than the ladder suggests, especially in attack. They’re putting up more points, have handled tougher opposition, and rank stronger in adjusted power metrics.

The market seems to be pricing the Knights off reputation more than reality, which opens the door for value hunters. With the Titans paying $2.63 and our model giving them nearly a 50-50 shot, this could be one of those sneaky good spots to go against the grain.

Best bet here is to take the Titans +6.5, these two are matched pretty solidly and giving the Titans a little handicap bet is the smarter of the bets out there.

If you’re looking for a decent multi tying it in with the UNDER 47.5 is a good shout aswell, Unibet is paying $3.63 for the multi.
