Storm vs Wings Prediction
I’m not thrilled to lay this number with a young Wings team on the road that’s had issues away from home. It’s also a letdown spot after how they beat the Sky. However, the Wings can score the ball with the best of them, and the Storm have limited scoring options. The Storm could also be down Melbourne, which makes them even more limited. Check the injury report before clicking the button. Still, the Wings should overpower the Storm due to their scoring ability. I have no choice but to lay the number.
