<h2>Sea Eagles vs The Dolphins Prediction and Betting Tips</h2>
<p> </p>
<h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3>
<p>Manly are on the verge of ending their ugly season in an uglier fashion and being on their losing streak and losing more players with Jake Trbojevic and Reuben Garrick out for the rest of the season, it’s hard to look at the home side.</p>
<p>The Sea Eagles have lost seven of its last eight matches on a six-day turnaround. </p>
<p>This season, when the Dolphins have lost two games or more in a row, they have managed to find a way to win a game, and with the Dolphins having lost back-to-back games, they are due for a win on the road.</p>

<p> </p>
<h3>First Try Scorer Prediction</h3>
<p>The Dolphins have managed to score first in the back to back losses against the Roosters and Broncos and it would be no surprise if their attack got to a fast start again.</p>
<p>Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow scored the first try of the game for the third time this season against Brisbane and if he can open up the field and find space against a weakened Manly side, it could be a fast game for the Dolphins to set the tone on their terms.</p>
<p>While Manly have managed to be the first try scoring team in three of their last four matches, the Dolphins have found better form in the back end of the season despite results also not leaning their way. </p>

<p> </p>
<h3>Over/Under Prediction</h3>
<p>Despite Manly’s last six matches at 4 Pines Park having gone under the total match points line, there could be an outlier when the Dolphins head to Manly. </p>
<p>The Dolphins have been involved in back to back games going over the total match points line and considering how bad Manly have been defensively this season, the game could easily be a scoring fest. </p>
<p><strong>Betting tip</strong>: <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/rugby-league/nrl/manly-sea-eagles-v-dolphins-9508073">Over total match points</a></p>
