<h2>Warriors vs Tigers Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>The Warriors will try and regroup from the devastating blow of losing star half Luke Metcalf to a season-ending ACL injury, when they welcome the Tigers across the ditch.</p> <p>While the loss of Metcalf is a massive spanner in the works for New Zealand and any premiership aspirations they may have had in 2025, they still sit comfortably in fourth.</p> <p>At home against a Tigers team who only picked up their sixth win of the season last week and who face the very real possibility of being with Jarome Luai for this one, we’re tipping the Warriors to rally for luckless Luke.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> New Zealand Warriors.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Try Scorer Prediction</h3> <p>There’s a form line emerging for this market that shines a light on a specific Warriors attacking weapon.</p> <p>Adam Pompey has been the first try-scorer in each of his last two home appearances against opponents that were ranked in the bottom four.</p> <p>At home here and playing against the 14th placed Tigers, all fingers point towards Pompey for us.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Adam Pompey.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Over/Under Prediction</h3> <p>When the Tigers travel across the ditch, they tend to leave the points at home.</p> <p>Each of their last four matches at Go Media Stadium have gone under the total match points line, and we’re tipping that trend to continue here.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Under total match points.</p>
