Papua New Guinea vs Fiji prediction

Both Papua New Guinea and Fiji managed to hit the 40-point-mark against Cook Islands, the former winning 40-28 whilst Fiji triumphed 44-24 with eight tries scored. The two nations are neck-and-neck when it comes to the world rankings as it stands in sixth and seventh place respectively which only underlines further how close this contest is likely to be.

When factoring in the well-matched nature of these two teams and their respective sharp offences, the smart move may be to focus on individual players the impact they can have on proceedings. Fullback Jahream Bula was outstanding for Fiji last time out, scoring four tries vs Cook Islands and the Wests Tigers star is showing why he’s one of the most exciting young players in the NRL. His speed is something Papua New Guinea will find very hard to counter and backing Bula to score at least one try against them has to be favoured.
