The Gold Coast Titans enter their home clash with confidence, having won three of their last five games, including a notable upset against the Panthers. Meanwhile, the New Zealand Warriors have stumbled recently, losing four of their last seven matches, and look to regain momentum as they approach finals. Team changes include AJ Brimson's return for the Titans and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad at fullback for the Warriors. The Titans are tipped to cover a +4.5 line, with predictions favoring a close 1-12 margin and try opportunities for Phil Sami and Arama Hau.

Titans vs Warriors Head To Head

Titans have won three of the last five, but the Warriors have prevailed in the last two, including a 28-20 triumph in NZ earlier this season.

Gold Coast Titans Form - Upturn In Fortunes

The Titans are humming with three wins from their last five games, climbing from 16th on the ladder to 13th.

However, with all six of their remaining games coming against top eight teams, they've left their run too late to seriously challenge for the finals - but they can be a nuisance for those sides looking to secure September footy.

After stunning Penrith, the Titans went down to the Dogs and Storm, but have bounced back with some sparkling attack to knock off the Sea Eagles and Dragons, scoring 38 points in both wins.

Jayden Campbell scored 18 of those points last week in the 38-18 victory over the Dragons on the road.

New Zealand Warriors Form - Tricky Spell For Wahs

Difficult little period for the Warriors at the moment as they look to re-establish their top four status and regenerate some momentum heading into the finals.

It's been a tough season with injuries, especially in the halves - and the Warriors are starting to look a little flat and burned out coming into the business end of the season.

The Wahs were out-enthused by the Dogs last week at Accor, going down 18-0 before scoring a late try.

That was their fourth loss in seven games after losing by exactly two points to the Dolphins, Sharks & Panthers.

Titans vs Warriors Team News

AJ Brimson returns from concussion in the centures, replacing Jaylan De Groot, who scored two tries last week.

Kurt Morrin is also back from a leg injury so Siale Faeamani drops out.

Taine Tuaupiki suffered a foot injury for the Warriors last week and is out of this clash, with Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad slotting in at fullback.

Verdict

The Titans are backed to cover a +4.5 line, with the winner prevailing by a 1-12 margin. Sami & Hau are the anytime try picks.
