NOLA Gold vs Chicago Hounds Prediction: Hosts to keep the pressure high

The Gold Mine will set the stage for the round 6 Major League Rugby clash between NOLA Gold and the Chicago Hounds. In their previous encounter, NOLA Gold emerged victorious on the road. Can the Chicago Hounds replicate this success away from home?

NOLA Gold continued their strong performance streak by delivering an outstanding display against the Dallas Jackals last weekend. They secured a convincing victory with a final score of 35-22. Despite a remarkable first-half dominance with a commanding 32-15 lead, their second-half performance dipped, resulting in a 7-3 loss. Nevertheless, this win marked their third victory of the season, with previous triumphs over Old Glory DC and Anthem RC. It's worth noting, however, that NOLA Gold did suffer a defeat earlier in the season, a 27-21 loss to the New England Free Jacks.

The Chicago Hounds have been striving for a win since their victory against the Miami Sharks in the first week of the season. However, in subsequent matches, they have suffered defeats against the Utah Warriors, New England Free Jacks, and the Seattle Seawolves just last week. Their most notable result in their last four games was a draw against Old Glory DC, with the match ending 22-22. As of now, the Chicago Hounds have accumulated just 8 points from 4 games, placing them 4th in the standings for the season.

These are the types of games where we see astonishing and unexpected victories, making predictions difficult. Nevertheless, despite the apparent challenge, it's crucial to acknowledge that the Chicago Hounds have performed poorly since week 2, whereas the NOLA Gold have consistently impressed week after week. Considering their recent form and past encounters as indicators, I anticipate nothing but a convincing victory for the NOLA Gold at home.
