Titans vs Knights Preview by Dean McHugh

Saturday begins with two of the in-form teams meeting at the Cbus Super Stadium as the Titans clash with the Knights. Both teams are looking to leave their early season form behind and make a run for the playoffs. 

There isn’t a great deal between these two sides and they always appear to be involved in close games this season and I see this one being no different. The Titans previous five games have seen winning margins of just two, two, three, four and one. 

With such a tight game expected, it’s good to look at the history books for a few pointers and the history book here doesn’t disappoint. That’s because in the previous 12 matches between these teams, the home side on the day has come away victorious. However, due to how tight this one could be, the safest play is to take the Titans with the handicap.

Bet – Titans with the handicap to beat the Knights

Looking at the incredibly tight margins from the Gold Coast Titans’ recent outings, they’ve turned playing down to the wire into an art form. This week’s clash at Cbus Super Stadium shapes up as another absolute nail-biter. Newcastle has shown serious grit to turn their season around, but history heavily favors the home side here, with the hosts taking out the last twelve head-to-head meetings between these two clubs.

If you are tracking NRL Betting Tips, taking the Titans with the line offers the smartest cover. Expect a bruising, low-scoring physical battle decided by a late field goal or a single penalty kick.
