Melbourne Storm vs Cronulla Sharks Prediction: A highly competitive game expected

Melbourne Storm will play Cronulla Sharks at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in the NRL week 10. Both teams are unbeaten in recent games. Which side will keep their stretch here?

Melbourne Storm will look to keep their solid performance intact when they take on Cronulla Sharks this Saturday. This season, Melbourne Storm have lost just one game after 8 fixtures, that loss coming against Newcastle Knights in late March. In the meantime, Melbourne Storm have defeated the lies of New Zealand Warriors, Brisbane Broncos, Canterbury Bulldogs, Sydney Roosters, and South Sydney Rabbitohs with their last weekend game ending against Gold Coast Titans 20-22 win. With 18 points from 8 matches, Cronulla Sharks are seated in the second spot of the NRL standings with 16 points, the same as the placed side.

Cronulla Sharks will be confident of a road win in this game to keep things rolling following a decent start to the season. Last weekend, this side took on the St. George Illawarra Dragons at home, and they secured a 20-10 win. However, after 8 games this season, Cronulla Sharks have lost just one game, coming against the Wests Tigers in late March. However, other encounters ended in wins for them against Canberra Raiders, South Sydney Rabbitohs, NW Cowboys, and the Canterbury Bulldogs. In the league standings, the Cronulla Sharks are seated at the top with 16 points.

This is going to be competition at its peak, as both teams are in hot form. In this game, I expect a fluid attack and defense from both sides, with both teams doing their best. Regardless, a bet on ‘over’ is the best, as I expect both teams to focus on winning. Also, while Sharks have been consistent, i do not expect them to lose with a huge margin here, despite being on the road.
