This game is predicted to be low scoring. The Knights have the 2nd lowest Combined Points total this season whilst Penrith have the 3rd lowest. Both teams in recent weeks have had some unusual scores on both ends but the biggest factor I believe will be defence.
Both teams will get their opportunities to score but they will be few and far between with a lot of time being spent on working it out from their own end and through the middle of the park.
- Newcastle’s Combined Points total in 2024 is 507 points (39 per game) 2nd fewest in the NRL
- Penrith’s Combined Points total in 2024 is 510 points (39.23 per game) 3rd fewest in the NRL
- 5 of the last 8 games between these teams have gone Under the posted Total for this weekend.
- Sunia Turuva currently shares the title for leading tryscorer in the league with 11. The Knights have allowed the majority of opposition tries down their left edge opposite Turuva.
Head to Head
These two teams have met 8 times since the beginning of the 2019 season with Penrith winning 7. There have been two Golden Point games with one ending in a draw and the other falling the Panthers way.
Despite not winning a game the Knights have managed to cover the line as Underdogs on three occasions but Penrith have the better ATS record at 5-3.
The Game Total has gone Under in 5 of the last 8 games including both match-ups last season.
The Winning Margin in both games last year was 1-12 with the 3 previous games all going 13+.

The Knights were upended by the Storm last weekend and have now lost two in a row seeing them fall out of the top 8.
Newcastle led the game for the majority of the first half but were ambushed with two opposition tries within 90 seconds of the half time break. The Knights have been a tough defensive outfit this season and are ranked 9th in the League for opposition points but allowed the Storm to crash over from close to the line on multiple occasions.

The Panthers bounced back from their uncharacteristic loss to the Dragons in Round 13 with a solid 32-22 win over the Sea Eagles last weekend.
Penrith are one of the better defensive teams in the league and have allowed their opposition to score over 22 points only once so far this season. The Panthers are also a dominant team across the park with a 79% share of Territory against the Sea Eagles strangling their opportunities to score points.
