South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Brisbane Broncos
South Sydney Rabbitohs finds themselves in a battle to retain their top eight spot having suffered a third loss in their last four outings, going down to Canterbury Bulldogs last time out. Their under-strength side failed to claim what would have been just a third victory in seven matches and now face a do or die battle.
Brisbane Broncos made it back-to-back victories and five wins from their last six as they ran out comfortable winners against Canterbury last week. The Broncos were able to prevail in straightforward fashion thanks to a strong second half showing.
TIP: The Sydney Rabbitohs will be delighted that a string of players that include Latrell Mitchell, Cameron Murray, Campbell Graham and Cody Walker will be available for selection in this match. The visitors will also be bolstered by the return of fullback Reece Walsh from suspension while Payne Haas is also available after overcoming an ankle knock. The bookies have the Rabbitohs as favourites but I’m tipping the Broncos for the upset win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Betway 2.44, Gbets 2.45 and Hollywoodbets 2.47

PREDICTION
This should be a excellent contest between South Sydney Rabbitohs and Brisbane Broncos with both teams aiming to build some momentum ahead of the finals. The Bunnies have fallen by the wayside of late owing to a large list of unavailable players but they are back to full strength for this game with nine players back in the side for this contest. They will be desperate to improve on their recent record but Brisbane Broncos will pose a big threat to their hopes of earning just a second win in five matches. The Broncos have won five of their last six and I expect this dominance to continue therefore I predict an away win by 4 points.
