Dolphins vs New Zealand Warriors Prediction: Incredible Warriors can not be held by Dolphins

The match between the struggling Dolphins and the New Zealand Warriors will take place at Suncorp Stadium. In the match that took place over the weekend before, the Dolphins were defeated by the North Queensland Cowboys, while the New Zealand Warriors prevailed over the St. George Illawarra Dragons.

Dolphins - Dolphins are favored this time

The Dolphins have now lost six straight games and 10 of their past 11 overall. Their most recent loss came at the hands of the Cowboys, when they were defeated by their rivals from Queensland by a score of 34-10. The performance of Jamayn Isaako, who is now in first place in the league's try-scoring race and is on track to become the top point scorer, is a bright spot for the Dolphins. Isaako has scored 23 tries so far in 2023. Jarrod Wallace is back on the bench, and Jesse Bromwich is back in the starting lineup in the front row. In addition, Max Plath will be taking Josh Kerr's place on the bench while he serves his suspension. The Dolphins have won 57% of their games when they lead at halftime going into this one. Additionally, the Dolphins have achieved the HT/FT double in fifty percent of their victories.

New Zealand Warriors - Warriors are in a hot form

The New Zealand Warriors extended their winning streak to seven games in a row with an 18-6 victory over the St. George Illawarra Dragons last weekend. With this victory, the New Zealand Warriors have now won seven games in a row. As a result of the New Zealand Warriors securing a top-four berth in September, the team will play in the finals of a rugby league competition for the first time in five years. Although they have only played 23 games so far, the team that is currently on the road has managed to rack up 38 points and is currently in fourth place in the league standings. Heading into this match, first team players like Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Shaun Johnson, Wayde Egan, Addin Fonua-Blake have all been rested, while Ben Farr, Brayden Wiliame, Edward Kosi, Jacob Laban, Kalani Going, Mitchell Barnett, Paul Roache, Ronald Volkman, Te Maire Martin, Tom Ale, Zyon Maiu'u will all come in as replacements.

Head-Head Statistics

The New Zealand Warriors defeated the Dolphins 30-8 in their first game of the season, which took place at Go Media Stadium in round 14. Both Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Shaun Johnson were the top players, as they scored a double between them.

Expert Betting Tips

The New Zealand Warriors will be giving a number of their most important players some time off, while the Dolphins have one more battle left in them before turning their attention to the 2024 season. Even though the Dolphins are favored by 1.59 points, I'm going to take them with a -4.5 point spread since it offers more value. Given that their best players are expected to perform at their highest level, I am going to put my money on the Dolphins to win both halves of this match. In addition, there is no other player in this match who is more likely to cross the try line than Jamayne Isaako, which is why I am betting on him to score two tries.
