Manly Sea Eagles vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Prediction: Dragons are expected to close the odds

Brookvale Oval will host the NRL round 15 encounter between Manly Sea Eagles and St. George Illawarra Dragons. In their last meeting, the road team secured a win. Let's predict this encounter and make a prediction. 

Manly Sea Eagles are coming off a league game against the Penrith Panthers, and this side lost 32-22. In the meantime, that defeat extended Manly Sea Eagles' losses to four in their last five games, with their earlier defeats being against Canberra Raiders, Dolphins, and Brisbane Broncos. However, their most recent league win was against Melbourne Storm, a 26-20 encounter. Manly Sea Eagles have accumulated 15 points this season from 13 matches, positioning them 12th in the NRL standings.

St. George Illawarra Dragons are coming off a league win over Wests Tigers. In that game, St. George Illawarra Dragons had a 42-point win gap in a 56-14 encounter. At halftime, St. George Illawarra Dragons lost 12-14, and then in the second halftime, St. George Illawarra Dragons went on to score 44 points without conceding. Heading into this game, St. George Illawarra Dragons have won three of their last four games, with their lone defeat being against Canterbury Bulldogs, while also picking a win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs. 

The road team is having a better performance lately compared to the Manly Sea Eagles. While the hosts will be eager to return to winning ways following a poor run of games, I do not see them pulling off any strong performance here. St. George Illawarra Dragons looked solid last week and should be strong in this one, too. Take the road team to win in a high-scoring possible game.
