Super League Margin Tips 2026
Predicting the winner is one thing, predicting how they win is harder. Alphr's Super League margin tips go a step beyond the head-to-head pick and project the winning margin band for each fixture, from a tight one-score finish to a blowout.
Margin bands: the model classifies each result into one of four bands — 1–12 (one-score game), 13–24 (comfortable), 25+ (blowout) or Draw. A margin tip lands only if the predicted winner wins and the actual margin falls in the predicted band.

Alphr runs separate score-projection models for the home and away side of every Super League fixture. The difference between those projected scores gives the predicted margin, which is then mapped to a band. Because it is built on score projections rather than a single number, the margin tip stays consistent with the head-to-head pick and the projected total.
Why margin bands instead of an exact number?
Rugby league scores are volatile, a late try or a converted penalty can swing the margin by six or more. Predicting an exact margin is unreliable, so the model commits to a realistic range instead. Bands map naturally onto how margin and handicap markets are framed, making the tips easy to read and to settle.
How accurate are the predictions?
The underlying head-to-head model scored 68.9% accuracy (0.786 ROC-AUC) on the blind 2024–2025 test seasons. Margin-band hit rates are naturally lower than head-to-head, because the band has to be right as well as the winner, but the same score models drive both, and every result is tracked openly on the accuracy page.
Margin tips vs totals
Margin tips predict the gap between the teams. The total-points projection (Over/Under) predicts the combined score against a league-average line of 40.5 points. Both come from the same pair of score models, so they always tell a consistent story about how a game is likely to play out.
