Melbourne Storm vs Gold Coast Titans prediction
When considering that Gold Coast Titans have won just four of their 15 NRL games so far this campaign, it’s a surprise that one of those victories most recently came against league leaders Penrith Panthers. That shows that they do have great performances and big results in their locker but we’ve just not seen that enough across the season.
Melbourne Storm have suffered a frustrating time of it themselves and a 7-9 record is testament to that. But they’ve won each of their last four home fixtures and will be supremely confident on their own turf. Therefore, back the Storm to get the better of Gold Coast Titans.
