Raiders vs Rabbitohs: Canberra are playing for their season, Souths are getting key men back 
36-34. That was the score when these two met earlier this season, with the Raiders coming out on top.
Seventy points in an NRL game does not happen by accident. Both defences were all over the place. At GIO Stadium on Saturday, we could be in for more of the same.
Canberra are 12th and chasing a top-eight spot that is slipping away fast. The Rabbitohs sit sixth and have two first-choice players back in the mix.
The Raiders have built some momentum, but who exactly were they up against? 
Two wins on the spin for Canberra, against the Dragons and then the Bulldogs. The second, a 40-16 road win, showed what this side can do when it gets rolling.
The issue is consistency. Sitting 12th with six rounds left, the Raiders need results and a fair bit of help elsewhere.
There should be very little change to the line-up this week, with Kaeo Weekes at the back and a pack led by Joe Tapine and Hudson Young. Ethan Strange and Ethan Sanders hold down the halves.
This is the kind of side that can look electric one week and flat the next. Hard to trust, frankly.
Try it for $0.99.
The Rabbitohs get two regular starters back 
Three wins from their last four, including a gutsy 26-24 victory over the Knights. That is what Souths have managed while the injury list has been stacked all season.
Alex Johnston should return from a calf issue and Cody Walker is back from suspension. Two outs and two ins that completely change the look of South Sydney’s attack.
Cameron Murray remains the engine up front, while Jack Wighton and Campbell Graham add serious punch out wide. Sixth place is no fluke.
Beating the Knights by two points in the week Newcastle looked ready to blow up said a fair bit about this team’s character.
NRL Prediction Canberra Raiders vs South Sydney Rabbitohs
Over 46.5 Points
The Raiders have found a bit of life again and are getting important names back in the squad. Canberra’s attack looked sharp against the Bulldogs and, when you add Souths’ firepower, this has the feel of an open game with plenty of points to clear a pretty modest line.

First, a word on our picks
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. It is an opinion, a read on the current moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks obvious, nothing really is. And yes, that means you can lose. At some point, that is inevitable.
- The best approach is to keep it sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live. And above all, do not chase losses, because that rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a bit of fun, not a job or a source of income. If it starts to take over your day, annoys you or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if you need help, speak to a specialist organisation. That is what it is there for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will always be there, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is illegal for minors and must comply with the law in your country. Gambling can spiral quickly – money problems, family strain, addiction. Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our picks are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. Put simply: you cannot use them to demand anything if a bet loses.
Information changes
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But then a team sheet changes, like Souths’ one here, a player gets hurt, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your responsibility
Before you bet, check that wagering is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling first
We cannot say it enough: gamble in moderation. If you struggle to keep control, do not wait to get help. We cannot be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
Legal age
mathodds content is for adults only. By browsing here, you confirm that you are of legal age to bet.
