NOLA Gold vs Miami Sharks Prediction: Both teams seek redemption

In the week eight game in the Major League, rugby will see NOLA Gold take on the Miami Sharks at the Gold Mine. Heading into this game, both teams have tasted back-to-back losses in recent games. Which side returns to winning ways here?

NOLA Gold keeps struggling to keep up with the standard they set at the beginning of the season. Last weekend, the hosts faced their third defeat, losing to the San Diego Legion on the road, ending 20-33. However, their last four games have seen NOLA Gold win just one, a 22-35 win over the Dallas Jackals. So far this season, NOLA Gold has 15 points and remains in 3rd spot of the MLR Eastern Conference.

Miami Sharks will come into this game hoping to end their poor record, as they have lost five of their six games this season. In that span, their lone win was against Anthem RC, a 50-21 encounter. In the meantime, other encounters saw Miami Sharks lose to Chicago Hounds, Seattle Seawolves, Houston SaberCats, and San Diego Legions. So far this season, Miami Sharks have just 7 points from six games, positioning them 5th in the Eastern Conference.

The hosts are the better team here and come in as favorites. However, they have not been at the peak of their games in recent weeks. On the other hand, Miami Sharks are just not competitive as a team, and while they continue to struggle, I do not see them as a formidable side for the hosts here. Take NOLA Gold to win with a good margin.
