Gold Coast Titans vs. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Betting Analysis
Gold Coast Titans Preview
It has been a disappointing campaign for the Titans, as they started the season among the standout rugby league predictions to challenge for a playoff spot. However, since a win over the Broncos in round 17 at Suncorp Stadium, they have lost six of their last seven to end their hopes of finishing in the top eight.
They will likely end the season in 13th place in the rugby standings, but they could drop down an extra place if they are beaten on the final day and the Dolphins land victory. Their home record would be a huge concern this weekend, as they have gone 4-6 in home matches this term. That includes just two wins in their last eight at Robina Stadium.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Preview
It has been a season to forget for the Bulldogs, as they quickly fell out of playoff contention following a slow start to the season. They never really recovered from that, and regardless of the outcome on Sunday, they will finish the season in 15th in the standings.
The Bulldogs have won just seven of their 23 matches this term, and no side in the NRL has a worse points difference than the away side this weekend.
Defensively there will be questions to answer over the off-season, and that is mirrored by the fact that they have conceded at least 40 points in six of their last eight NRL matches. But, Josh Addo-Carr could be a player to watch this weekend, as he has scored nine tries in his last five appearances against the Titans.
Updates
The Titans will welcome back Moeaki Fotuaika this weekend after the prop missed last weekend’s game against the Storm. Tevita Pangai Jnr will be absent for the Bulldogs, meaning that he has played his final game in the NRL.
