Miami Sharks vs NOLA Gold Prediction: The visitors to make it second win in a row

Baptist Health Community Field will host the Major League Rugby encounter between the Miami Sharks and NOLA Gold. In the club histories, both teams have met twice and shared the matches with a win apiece. Which team wins this one? Below, I preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities. 

Miami Sharks

Miami Sharks are coming off a defeat in their first game of the season, which ended 29-31. In that encounter, the Miami Sharks had a solid start, which saw them lose 21-10, but an 8-21 second half performance saw this team end on the losing end. In the meantime, a look at this team’s recent matches have seen them lose three, two others against Chicago Hounds and NOLA Gold. In the meantime, the Miami Sharks have two points in their first game of the season, which saw them sit 5th in the Eastern Conference. 

NOLA Gold

NOLA Gold opened their season with a win over Anthem RC and will hope to be at their best again. In a game that ended 35-14, NOLA Gold had a very solid start, which saw them win 28-0. In the meantime, despite losing 7-14 in the second half, it was not enough to stop them from taking maximum points. In their run of games leading up to this fixture, NOLA Gold have three wins, two against Los Angeles and New England Free Jacks, while losing to Old Glory DC and Chicago Hounds. Heading into this game, NOLA Gold have five points and sits at the top of the Eastern Conference. 

Expert Betting Tips

NOLA Gold should be able to win again after a strong performance against Anthem RC in the opener. However, at home, Miami Sharks will hope to show character after a poor start to the season. In the meantime, the two teams are expected to go end to end, being at the top level and showing they are ready to compete. This should be a tight one, and I expect NOLA Gold to win from the first half.
