Sharks vs. Knights Predictions

Ended

The NRL continues with Round 20 action between the Sharks vs. Knights on Friday, July 17 at 6:00pm at Ocean Protect Stadium.

It’s a big game between the Sharks and Knights, with a spot in the top four up for grabs. The Sharks are favoured to win at $1.58 and continue their winning run.

Best Bet

Sharks -4.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We backed the Knights last week against the Rabbitohs, and although they made it close at the end of the game, we were disappointed by the performance.

On the other end of the scale, the Sharks couldn’t have looked any better against the Dolphins. The 66-0 win was one of the best performances we’ve seen this year, and although the Dolphins were dreadful, the Sharks never let up.

They now have four wins from their last five games, including wins over top four teams in the Warriors and Dolphins. That’s an impressive record, and although we expect more from the Knights this week, it might not be enough to beat the Sharks.

Playing at home is a bonus, so back the Sharks to cover the -4.5 line with confidence.

Same Game Multi

Sharks -4.5, Sione Katoa Anytime Try Scorer, Ronaldo Mulitalo Anytime Try Scorer, Over 46.5 @ $7.00

Bet Now

Sione Katao and Ronaldo Mulitalo are our top picks to score tries. Katoa has six tries from his last three games, including three tries against the Dolphins and a double against the Broncos. The $1.81 odds are better than expected, so include him in NRL SGM picks.

Mulitalo has provided the Sharks with a much-needed energy boost since returning. He has four tries from his last five games, including one last week, and he could add to his tally on Friday night at $1.73.

We’re including over 46.5 points in our multi bet. The Sharks, as they showed last week, have plenty of points in them, and the Knights should score a few tries of their own.

Best Value Bet

Sione Katoa 2+ Tries @ $4.50

Bet Now

Katoa has consecutive games of 2+ tries, and we’re backing him to keep that run going against the Knights.

He’s one of the more powerful finishers in the NRL, and with the way the Knights defended in the first half last week, he could cross for a double in the opening 40 minutes.

The $4.50 odds are worth including in NRL picks as a value bet.
