A place that would be oh, so foreign for them.</p> <p>Can the Dolphins keep building momentum and inflict some more pain on the reigning champs? Or can the Panthers lift themselves off the canvas and get rolling?</p> <p>Let’s take a look at how these two teams will line up this weekend along with some betting tips for the H2H, first try scorer and over/under markets.

<h2>Dolphins vs Panthers Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>It appears the dynasty that delivered an unprecedented four consecutive premierships to the foot of the mountains may finally be coming to an end.</p> <p>The Dolphins, who until last week were winless, enter this clash ahead of Penrith on the NRL ladder.</p> <p>It seems like a crazy statistic, but the fact of the matter is Penrith have won just once this year. The return of prodigal son Nathan Cleary could not save them from a fourth consecutive loss last week.</p> <p>Despite all the doom and gloom for the reigning champs, we just can’t see them losing five on the spin and potentially falling to the foot of the ladder.</p> <p>However, should they lose here we may be forced to reconsider everything we once knew about Rugby League.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/rugby-league/nrl/dolphins-v-penrith-panthers-9090324">Penrith Panthers</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Try Scorer Prediction</h3> <p>While the Panthers might have gone slightly off the boil this year, young centre Casey McLean has started the season steadily after narrowly avoiding the axe a couple of weeks ago.</p> <p>The Kiwi international has gone over three times in four games this season and is building into a breakout season nicely. With Brian To’o still a week away with his hamstring injury, we’re backing McLean to open things up on the scoreboard for the Panthers.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/rugby-league/nrl/dolphins-v-penrith-panthers-9090324">Casey McLean</a></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <h3>Over Under Prediction</h3> <p>The Panthers have won both meetings against the Dolphins thus far in the short history of this matchup. It’s a matchup in which the Panthers have had no trouble in finding the try-line. Scoring nine tries in the two meetings.</p> <p>The last meeting between these sides last year was a near 50-point combined, high scoring thriller.</p> <p>Despite results not going their way, the Panthers have had trouble scoring this year, averaging nearly four tries a game.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Dolphins flexed last week against the Titans but have largely struggled to find the line this season.</p> <p>With the line set at 48.5 for this one, given both teams' struggles so far this season, we might settle for a low scoring thriller here.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/rugby-league/nrl/dolphins-v-penrith-panthers-9090324">Under total match points</a>.</p>
