Sydney Roosters

@ Melbourne Storm or Tie

 

Current odds:

Sydney Roosters: (-250)

Melbourne Storm: (+210)

 

• The spread for the game is Sydney by 6.5 points.

• Melbourne’s 2019 preliminary final loss to the Sydney Roosters was their third defeat in four H2H encounters, but the Victorians have played themselves into form with four victories of 13+ points this season, the most recent of which was the first time in nine games that the Storm’s attacking unit racked up at least 30 points.

• In fact, Sydney City’s last eight home and away victories have all been by a margin of 13+ points, suggesting that Melbourne will need to perform for 80 minutes to contain their adversaries. They’ll certainly need to be on their game early: the Roosters have recorded first points in all seven games, including the opening try of the game within the first eight minutes on five separate occasions.
