South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Canberra Raiders prediction
Canberra Raiders didn’t impress in their most recent away fixture, which saw them beaten resoundingly by Newcastle Knights. The visitors were cut apart from a defensive point of view, losing 32-12 and are likely to be in for another long 80 minutes this time around against an in-form South Sydney Rabbitohs side.
The hosts are coming off the back of consecutive wins, which saw them accumulate 52 points in total. They boast a mean backline and will be confident of snuffing out Canberra’s offensive threat. With form in their favour, back the Rabbitohs to triumph over this scuffling Raiders side.
