The last time these two teams met the Panthers at home beat the Titans convincingly 24-2. Previously, in earlier years and most recent form, 20 matches played between the Panthers and the Titans favour the Panthers winning 13, all other statistics indicate the Panthers score more points and defend a lot better on an average, one stand out statistic is that before this game plays today the Panthers have a win rate of 80%.
Penrith Panthers for the win.
If we had to pick a line?
Panthers -13.5
