Rabbitohs vs Storm : Melbourne need to close the gap on the Top 8 
The Rabbitohs have won their last four games at Accor Stadium this season, and they have averaged 28.8 points across their last five matches.
Melbourne head into this one four points outside the top eight, and this trip could get their play-off push back on track in a hurry.
Rabbitohs : an attack that delivers, a defence that leaks 
The Rabbitohs sit top of the competition for line breaks and fourth for points scored.
That tells you they are creating space again and again, not just cashing in on the odd breakaway. Cody Walker remains the key man in the build-up, with Matthew Dufty, Jack Wighton and Campbell Graham there to finish the job.
The problem is at the other end. South Sydney conceded 34 points against Canberra last week, including 28 before half-time. Start like that and the scoreboard tends to run away.
The Rabbitohs have gone over 22.5 team points in four of their last five matches. They also smashed Melbourne 48-6 in Round 8.
Try it for $0.99.
Melbourne : Hughes’ return changes the attacking picture 
The Storm come into this off a 14-6 loss to the Roosters, with their first play inside the opposition 20 not arriving until after 54 minutes.
That pretty much sums up Melbourne’s struggles to get their shape going without their main organiser. Jahrome Hughes missed that one with a hamstring issue.
His expected return changes the picture. Hughes’ kicking game and Harry Grant’s creativity out of dummy-half give Melbourne a chance of matching the pace Souths will try to set.
Melbourne are 10th defensively and 15th for line breaks conceded. Against the competition’s top attack in that area, the imbalance is there for all to see.
NRL Prediction Rabbitohs vs Melbourne Storm
Over 45.5 points in the game
It hardly needs saying that Rabbitohs matches have been packed with points all season. This line has landed in four of South Sydney’s last five games. The Storm can go missing in attack for long spells, but the return of several key men with attacking intent points to a high-scoring contest.
in your pocket.

A quick word on our predictions first
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read on the current picture, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks nailed on, it is never really certain. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will at some point.
- The smartest approach is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live on. And above all: do not chase losses. That rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a bit of fun, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much of your day, gets on your nerves or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, speak to a specialist support service. That is what they are there for.
- At the end of the day, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and never goes away, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is illegal for minors and must comply with the law in your country. Gambling can spiral fast, with money problems, family tension and addiction. Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They have no legal force. In plain English: you cannot use them to claim anything if a bet does not land.
Information changes fast
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But after that, a team sheet changes (like the Rabbitohs’ one here), a player gets injured, 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 on you, not us.
Responsible gambling first
We cannot say it often enough: gamble in moderation. If you struggle to stay in control, seek help sooner rather than later. 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 using this site, you confirm that you are old enough to bet under the law.
