New Zealand Warriors vs Gold Coast Titans prediction

A high-quality encounter is on the cards between these two teams when considering how well both played in their most recent respective fixtures. The pair put up 90 points as a whole, with New Zealand Warriors beating Melbourne Storm 14-38 and Gold Coast Titans thrashing Parramatta Eels 10-52. Neither are expected to play more conservatively in what should be an end-to-end battle.

For New Zealand Warriors, it will be about how they can contain a red-hot Gold Coast Titans offense and for the Titans, they are likely to spend less time in possession of the ball as New Zealand Warriors look to pull them around the field and push them deep at every opportunity. The smart move would be to back 50 points or more being scored.

New Zealand Warriors vs Gold Coast Titans tip: Over 49.5 total points
