Andrew Hendrie: Sep 22, 2023

The NRL preliminary finals match between the Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm features as Bettingpro.com.au’s best bet for Friday September 22.

Bet Of The Day September 22 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Panthers have won five of the last seven meetings between the teams
Panthers have won 10 of their last 11 games
Six of the Panthers’ last seven wins have been by 20 points or more
Panthers have beaten the Storm by 18 points or more in their two games this season

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Panthers and Storm collide for a spot in the Grand Final.

Penrith are aiming to become the first team in four decades to win three consecutive premierships and we are backing them to return to another Grand Final tonight.

The Panthers just don’t miss a beat and are looking as strong as ever heading into this encounter, winning 10 of their last 11 games.

Jarome Luai is back to partner Nathan Cleary in the halves, while Izack Tago also returns from injury in the centres, so this one of their strongest teams over the last couple of months.

We’re going to back the Panthers to win this comfortably by a 13+ margin.

Melbourne have been disappointing so far this finals series, suffering a crushing 26-0 loss to the Broncos before needing a 79th minute try to beat a heavily depleted Roosters side at home last week.

The Panthers have won five of the last seven meetings with the Storm, including both games in 2023 by 18 points or more.

When the Panthers win, they usually dominate. Six of their last seven victories have been by 20+ points.

With Penrith having eased past the Storm twice already in 2023, we’re expecting them to lift with a Grand Final on the line at home and register another big victory.
