Titans vs Storm Prediction and Betting Tips
Head-to-Head Prediction
The first Saturday afternoon game kicks off in the sunny Gold Coast where the Titans host the Melbourne Storm.
Both teams will have Origin players returning for this matchup.
The form of the Melbourne Storm this season is hard to go against despite their recent run of losses.
With Melbourne building Harry Grant back into the side, the Storm are going against a Titans side that lack cohesion and continuously changing combinations.
Melbourne don’t know any other way besides winning, as they have won 10 of its last 11 matches against the Gold Coast, which is the way we’re going for this game.
Betting tip: Melbourne Storm
First Try Scorer Prediction
The Melbourne Storm have scored the first try in every single game this season.
For perspective, the Titans are under 50 per cent in this category this season.
The Storm are wanting to get back to their high standard of winning and playing high percentage footy, and scoring first would certainly help them set the tone.
Outside of two matches against the bottom nine teams where Melbourne have lost, they have easily handled the teams that are closer to the wooden spoon territory.
Grant Anderson has scored the first try for Melbourne in two games this season, and we expect the Storm to exploit the Titans’ edge defence to start the match.
Betting tip: Grant Anderson first try scorer.
Over/Under Prediction
The Titans have struggled tremendously in defence, and it would be a surprise if they neutralised the fast paced Melbourne offence.
Melbourne have conceded 21.8 points per game in their last five games this season.
With the major round bye, the Craig Bellamy sprays should hopefully give them all the motivation to get back to what we are accustomed to seeing.
That’s high for a Craig Bellamy Melbourne side and considering the Titans struggle to hit 20 points even in games where they go over that number, the Storm could be having a clinic in the Gold Coast.
80 percent of Titans’ matches this season have gone over the total match points line, and we expect massive points to continue in a very chaotic Titans season.
Betting tip: Over total match points
