Gold Coast Titans vs Melbourne Storm Prediction: Visitors eye top of the standings

Robina Stadium will be the venue for the National Rugby League game between Gold Coast Titans and Melbourne Storm. Both teams ended on the winning end last weekend. Which side gets things right here?

Gold Coast Titans put an end to a run of 8 games without a win, defeating the New Zealand Warriors 24-27. In that game, Gold Coast Titans had a 12-19 lead at halftime, and despite losing 12-8 in the second half, this side was still able to come out on top. However, prior games to that win ended in defeats against Dolphins, Parramatta Eels, St. George Illawarra Dragons, Canterbury Bulldogs, NQ Cowboys, Canberra Raiders and Manly Sea Eagles. This season, Gold Coast Titans have just four points from 7 already played matches, positioning them 16th in the standings.

Melbourne Storm were brilliant once again last weekend against South Sydney Rabbitohs, winning 54-20 at home. In that game, Melbourne Storm took a commanding 32-4 win at halftime, and in the second half, they pulled 22 goals compared to their opponents’ 16. With that win, Melbourne Storm have won four consecutive games, three others coming against Brisbane Broncos, Canterbury Bulldogs, and Sydney Roosters. Melbourne Storm are third in the league with 14 points, the same as first and second-spot sides.

Melbourne Storm have been excellent this season, and they have consistently shown they are up to the task. Gold Coast Titans, however, despite winning last weekend, are not convincing yet, and they do not look trustworthy. Melbourne Storm have pulled a number of big figures this season, and this is not expected to be any different as they look to move top of the standings.
