Canberra Raiders vs South Sydney Rabbitohs prediction
South Sydney Rabbitohs could put some pressure on the top three with a win over Canberra Raiders, who currently sit six points below the Rabbitohs in the NRL table. But Canberra are in form, coming off the back of consecutive victories against the Dragons and Bulldogs respectively. South Sydney Rabbitohs got the job done on Jai Arrow’s birthday celebration, narrowly defeating Newcastle Knights 26-24.
Whilst Canberra Raiders boasts home advantage, South Sydney Rabbitohs are a side who have shown their ability to deliver in the clutch and on the road, this could prove particularly important. The visitors have won nine of 16 this campaign and backing them to defeat Canberra warrants consideration.
