Wests Tigers vs Gold Coast Titans prediction
The Wests Tigers (14th) suffered a 34-14 defeat to the New Zealand Warriors in Round 19. They have struggled for wins recently, with only one in the last five matches.
The Gold Coast Titans (17th) went down 26-14 to the Brisbane Broncos last week, their third loss in five, as they stare down a probable wooden spoon.
Tigers winger Sunia Turuva has been a shining light in a tough season, leading the club with 10 tries and providing plenty of excitement on the flank.
Titans fullback Jayden Campbell is the key to his teams attack, leading the side in both points scored (88) and linebreak assists (14).
The Titans have a 17-10 winning record over the Wests Tigers. This will be the first meeting between the two clubs in the 2025 season, with Wests Tigers winning the only match last season 18-10.
This match is a genuine toss-up between two struggling teams. The loss of both captains to suspension will impact both sides, but the Tigers' home-ground advantage might just be enough to get them over the line in what could be a high scoring contest.
