Newcastle Knights vs Wests Tigers Prediction: Knights to overcome Tigers at home

Newcastle International Sports Centre will host the National Rugby League match between Newcastle Knights and Wests Tigers. The two teams are coming off back-to-back defeats and will hope to get a better result. How will this game end?

Newcastle Knights

Newcastle Knights have lost their last three games, and in this one, they will hope for a win. In that run of games, this team played the Manly Sea Eagles, Brisbane Broncos, and Penrith Panthers. However, a look at their games since late May saw this team just two games, coming against Parramatta Eels and Canberra Raiders. In the meantime, Newcastle Knights lost to Canterbury Bulldogs, Melbourne Storm, and Panthers. With 22 points from 19 matches, Newcastle Knights are seated 12th in the NRL standings and will look to improve their record here with a win.

Wests Tigers

Wests Tigers will look to end their run of poor results after back-to-back matches without a positive outcome. In their last match, this team lost to NQ Cowboys, a game that finished 30-48, extending their defeats to six in a row. However, the Wests Tigers have the fewest points accumulated this season, 12 from 20 league games. This team has lost to Dolphins, St. George Illawarra Dragons, Penrith Panthers, Brisbane Broncos, Canterbury Bulldogs, and Newcastle Knights, among many other sides into this fixture.

Expert Betting Tips

The two teams are off a poor performance, and they definitely have to be at their best here. I do not trust either team, though, but the Wests Tigers are just too poor to win this game. At home turf, Newcastle Knights have to be able to win as favorites, looking at the winning odds. Also, with the two teams expected to be strong in offense, a bet on points is another option to consider.
