Betting Insights

• The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have won their last two NRL matches against the Newcastle Knights after winning only one of their previous six matches (L5); they have also scored 30+ points in each of their last two matches and will be looking to do so in three straight matches for the first time against the Knights since 1994.
• The Newcastle Knights have won three of their last five NRL matches against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Accor Stadium (L2); they outscored the Bulldogs 108-12 across those three wins.
• The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have won all their four NRL matches in 2025; the last time they started a season on a longer winning run in premiership history was a five-match span in 1993 – in addition, the Bulldogs have conceded fewer than 10 points in each of their last two games and will be aiming to do so in three consecutive games for the first time since Rounds 3-5 in 1993.
• This will be the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs’ first NRL match at Accor Stadium in 2025; they have won their opening game at the venue in only one of the last six seasons (L5) – a Golden Point victory against the North Queensland Cowboys in 2023 (15-14).
• The Newcastle Knights have been kept scoreless in the first halves of both of their two NRL away matches in 2025, though they did go on to win one of those two fixtures (10-8 vs Wests Tigers in Rd 1); that was just the Knights’ third win across their last 24 away games in the competition where they have trailed at halftime on the day.
• Fletcher Sharpe has been the first try scorer in two of the last six NRL matches where the Newcastle Knights have scored first on the day, including in the Knights’ most recent visit to Accor Stadium (Rd 25, 2024 vs South Sydney Rabbitohs); Sharpe has scored 10 tries and provided a try assist in his last nine games in the competition overall.
• The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have scored the opening try of the game in four of their last five NRL games at Accor Stadium but have won only four of their last eight games at the venue when they’ve scored the opening try of the game on the day.
• Jack Cogger (Newcastle Knights) played 22 NRL games for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs from 2019 to 2020; however, they remain one of only two teams against whom he has never won in the competition (also Canberra Raiders).
• Stephen Crichton (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs) has scored one try in four of his last five NRL games against the Newcastle Knights, as well as making three try assists across that period; though, he’s been directly involved in only one try from four appearances in the 2025 campaign overall (1 try).
• Kalyn Ponga (Newcastle Knights) has not scored a try in any of his last six NRL games against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs; only against the Sydney Roosters (7 games) and Melbourne Storm (7) does he have a longer current try drought.
