Gold Coast Titans vs Newcastle Knights prediction
Momentum is soaring at Newcastle Knights right now following back-to-back wins with over 40 points scored on both occasions. However, the same cannot be said for Gold Coast Titans, who have now lost each of their last three matches, putting up just 12 points in the most recent two of those defeats.
When taking into account the Knights’ offence, which has been extremely potent lately compared to the fragile backline, we should see Newcastle overwhelm this Titans side who have not been playing well recently and ultimately emerge victorious here, making it three straight wins for them.
