Sea Eagles vs Panthers Analysis
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles Performance Recap and Analysis
There will likely be pressure on the home team this weekend, as they will need a positive display to reignite their hopes of finishing in a playoff position this term. They come into this round of matches sitting in eleventh in the standings, and they have recorded just two victories from their opening four matches in the NRL this term.
It had been a strong start to the season for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles after winning in each of their opening two matches, but they have been brought back down to earth following defeats in their previous two. Defensive mistakes were ultimately costly in their latest defeat against the Dragons, and they can ill-afford to make such mistakes against one of the best NRL teams this weekend.
Key Injuries
The Sea Eagles have no fresh injury concerns, meaning that Daly Cherry-Evans and Matt Lodge will both be named amongst the starters this weekend.
Betting Trends To Know
The location of this weekend’s game could be a crucial factor for the Sea Eagles, as they have won four of their last six home matches in the NRL. Tolutau Koula could also be a player worth considering this weekend, as the centre has scored three tries in his last two home matches.
Penrith Panthers Performance Recap and Analysis
There is little surprise to see the Penrith Panthers among the top-ranked teams in the NRL at this stage, as they have made a strong defense of their championship following victories in three of their four opening matches this term. In fact, a victory this weekend could see them end the round at the top of the standings for the first time in 2024.
There strength in depth was evident last weekend, as they faced few issues in overcoming the Roosters despite the absence of Nathan Clearly. The Panthers scored two tries in either half to dominate their rivals to claim an excellent victory.
Key Injuries
James Fisher-Harris will return for the Panthers this weekend, while Moses Leota is also in contention to start this weekend.
Betting Trends To Know
The dominant record of the away team in the head-to-head record is important before making Sea Eagles vs Panthers betting picks. The Panthers have won each of their last four on the road against the Sea Eagles, and they have claimed victories in each of the last nine.
