Brisbane Broncos vs Gold Coast Titans Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: NRL Round 12, 2024

The Brisbane Broncos face the Gold Coast Titans on Sunday afternoon at the Suncorp Stadium in the NRL Round 12. The Broncos enter the match as the clear favorites.

The Broncos will aim to win their third straight game after beating the Sea Eagles in the last round. Their recent form seems imperious, as they’ve made easy work of the Parramatta Eels and overcame the high-pressure game of Manly.

Not to mention that they’re only two points away from joining the Dolphins and the Penrith Panthers in the top-four. But their round 9 (40-18) loss to the Roosters brought them a dose of reality. The Broncos are certainly beatable; the question is, can the Titans put a stop to Brisbane’s growing momentum?

The Gold Coast Titans are coming off a tough loss to the Newcastle Knights. The Titans had a 24-10 lead over the Knights by half-time and seemed to be on their way to their first back-to-back wins this season. However, they lost their momentum in the second half and failed to score a goal, leading to a four-point victory for the Knights.

The Titans have been inconsistent, and their form reflects this inconsistency. Brisbane are the much safer bet, especially as they’ve won the last four meetings between the two sides. Expect the Broncos to coast to a comfortable win.
