Melbourne Storm vs Cronulla Sharks Prediction: Top spots battle continues

This National Rugby League battle between the Melbourne Storm and the Cronulla Sharks will take place in round 15 at AAMI Park. The host team was just defeated by the visiting NQ Cowboys, while the Cronulla Sharks' game also resulted in a loss.

The most recent match that Melbourne Storm played was a loss to the NQ Cowboys, which ended with a score of 45-20. Despite this, they were defeated for the second time in recent encounters, the first time at the hands of South Sydney Rabbitohs in a previous round of competition. In spite of this, Melbourne Storm has been victorious in three of its last six matches. These victories came against the New Zealand Warriors, the Brisbane Broncos, and the Dolphins. This season, Melbourne Storm have won 18 points out of a possible 12, collecting 250 points while also allowing 251 points to be scored against them.

The Cronulla Sharks' previous game, which was played at home, resulted in a loss to the Brisbane Broncos, and coming into this one, the opposing team will be optimistic about their chances of getting back to winning ways. The Cronulla Sharks have now won three of their most recent five matches, with those victories coming against the NQ Cowboys, Manly Sea Eagles, and Newcastle Knights, respectively. However, during that time period, the visiting club had also suffered defeat at the hands of the Dolphins, with the exception of their most recent loss. The Cronulla Sharks are now ranked fourth in the National Rugby League standings after accumulating 18 points from their previous 12 matches.

We anticipate that this contest will be difficult, with both teams having a nearly equal chance of winning despite the fact that the odds on paper might suggest otherwise. However, despite the fact that we think the Cronulla Sharks have a shot away from home, we think that the best bet in this situation is to wager on the away team covering the spread.
