Game Prediction: Both the Sharks and Dragons suffered heavy losses in their last matches, with the Sharks trounced at home by the Warriors, and the Dragons experiencing a similar fate against the Dolphins.
As they seek to improve, this matchup could go either way.
However, the prediction leans towards the Sharks for a victory, especially playing at home, where they typically show more potential for an upswing.
