Canberra Raiders vs Melbourne Storm prediction
Four straight defeats for Melbourne Storm see them struggling down at the wrong end of the table. They’ve not lost five in a row for well over ten years but Canberra Raiders are looking to change that. The Raiders have had struggles of their own and sit below Melbourne in the table as it stands. But they are showing clear signs of improvement.
An excellent 34-36 victory away to South Sydney Rabbitohs last time out is testament for Canberra’s recent upturn and back home, they’ll be expected to follow through with another strong performance. Against struggling opposition, consider backing a home win in this one.
