GOLD COAST TITANS

• Gold Coast Titans made it back-to-back wins as they upset Queensland rivals Brisbane Broncos in their derby last week, getting the better of them at Suncorp Stadium.
• It was an impressive victory for the Titans but the challenge will be to build on that here and they receive a boost with skipper Tino Fa’asuamaleaui back in the side after he was rested last time out, on the back of his Origin exploits.

THE PREDICTION

This is an important game for both teams in the race to make the finals with very little separating a clutch of teams. There are only two competitions points between Canberra Raiders and Gold Coast Titans and both will be confident here but the home side look to have the edge. They have won eight of their last 10 games while it is seven wins in the past eight matchups between the two teams for Canberra so they are favoured to prevail.
