Warriors vs Penrith Panthers
Location of the Game: Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Australia.
Date and Time: Saturday, May 6. 1:00 AM ET.
How to Watch: NRL Player
Before making rugby league predictions, you should examine the recent clashes between the sides. This will be the 50th time that the Warriors and Panthers have locked horns.
The Panthers hold the advantage, having won on 30 occasions compared to the 18 wins picked up by the Warriors. The Panthers have also dominated the previous meetings between the sides, having won each of the last six.
The Warriors remain eighth in the NRL standings after nine rounds of matches, but there would be a slight concern based on their previous two outings.
Over that period, they have suffered two straight defeats. The most recent of those was a disappointing 14-0 home loss against the Roosters on April 30.
It has been a brutal period on the schedule for the Warriors, as this will be their third game in just eleven days. A mounting injury list will count against them this weekend, while the Warriors also have a poor record against the Panthers, having lost each of their previous six clashes.
The Penrith Panthers will also come into this showdown with a point to prove. They were beaten by the Wests Tigers last weekend, which marked the first time in over two years that they had lost successive games in the NRL.
However, the defending premiers will still have every chance of achieving their goals for the season, as they are just two victories off the top of the standings.
As part of the Magic Round, this game will take place at Suncorp Stadium. The venue in Brisbane has been a very happy hunting ground throughout history for the Panthers, as they have landed victories in eleven of their last 12 visits.
Meanwhile, confidence will be high against the Warriors, as they are unbeaten in four years against their rivals on Saturday morning. Both factors could be key before making a Warriors vs Panthers betting prediction.
The Warriors will welcome back both Tohu Harris and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad for this match against the Panthers. Meanwhile, the defending premiers will once again have James Fisher-Harris back in starting contention.
- Warriors: +275

The trends are fairly difficult to ignore before making a Warriors vs Panthers prediction. The Panthers have excelled in previous clashes with the Warriors, while they have an excellent record at Suncorp Stadium.
It’s hard to look past the defending premiers champions, as they look to bounce back after suffering back-to-back defeats for the first time in two years.
