Broncos vs Warriors Prediction: Brisbane to prosper at Suncorp once again

The Brisbane Broncos will look to move closer to the top four in the NRL and reduce the gap between themselves and the New Zealand Warriors to four points when the two teams meet at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, on Saturday (06:00 BST, Watch NRL).

Below are my Broncos vs Warriors predictions, as well as all the essential team news and match odds.

Team News

Maguire has named the same 17 players who beat the Cronulla Sharks 34-28 last time out.

Winger Selwyn Cobbo is still looking to feature for the first time since Round 13, and he remains amongst the reserves.

Warriors winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak will miss the game due to an ankle injury, with Ed Kosi drafted in to replace him.

Maroons ace Kurt Capewell is back after his State of Origin exploits, while Rocco Berry has recovered from a hamstring injury and he will start in the centres.

Broncos vs Warriors Odds

Despite the Warriors' advantage in the NRL table, they are considered the outsiders for this weekend's clash at 7/5, implying a 41.7% chance of success. Brisbane are 8/13 favourites, while the draw is priced at 20/1.

Brisbane are available at 11/10 to cover the -6 handicap, while those who fancy a high-scoring match can back Over 48.5 points at 5/6.

Match Winner (80 minutes) - Brisbane Broncos @ 8/13

Brisbane will look to record their third win in a row this weekend, and having home advantage should be a huge bonus.

Maguire's team showed tremendous fight last week, as they came from 16 points down to overcome the Sharks.

Former Wigan Warriors head coach Maguire has got the best out of his spine in recent weeks, with prop Payne Haas setting the tone up front. Reece Walsh has been a menace in the backfield, and Brisbane have managed to build some momentum.

The Warriors lost 28-18 to Penrith Panthers last week, but that came as a shock. Penrith were missing several key players due to State of Origin commitments, but they still found a way past the Warriors.

Webster's team have not beaten the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium since 2018, and they should fall short against the rejuvenated Broncos this weekend.

Brisbane Broncos Over 28.5 points @ 6/5

Brisbane have been a lot more patient in recent weeks in attack, but they should still be able to rack up the points against the Warriors on Saturday.

The New Zealand outfit have conceded 28 points or more in two of their last three matches, and Brisbane have been entertaining their supporters on home soil.

Maguire's men have scored 78 points at home in their last two games at Suncorp Stadium, while they have scored more than 28 points at home on four occasions.
