Huddersfield(WIN) 1.84 odds vs Bradford
Tip 1: Huddersfield to win
Reason for the tip: The Huddersfield Giants would be desperate to end their losing streak when they take on Bradford Bulls in a highly competitive match at the Accu Stadium. The Giants’ new head coach Jim Lenihan has not been able to taste success since he took charge of the team in May as they lost all six matches that they played under him. Losing Asher O’Donnell and Chris Patolo is a blow, but the possible inclusion of seasoned forwards Sam Hewitt and George King is sure to help the pack.
Bradford are also coming into the game on the back of an equally poor run as they haven’t won any of their past four games. However, they have managed to get a boost in the form of the return of Will Gardiner who had suffered from a major head injury, whereas Loghan Lewis and Zac Fulton have also been selected despite having some niggles. Players like Ryan Sutton, Andy Ackers and Jayden Nikorima need to come good for Bradford to have any chance.Both teams will be looking to dominate the middle of the park in this match and the home advantage will certainly play a vital role for Huddersfield therefore I am backing them for the win.

West Tigers vs New Zealand Warriors: Home team (+8.5) 1.87 odds
Reason for tip: The Wests Tigers face a huge test when they play host to the second placed Warriors at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Friday. Both teams are desperate for points but for very different reasons. The home side are still in the running for a top-eight finish despite last week’s disappointing defeat to the Dragons. The return of Jarome Luai from concussion is a timely boost, although the absence of injured captain Api Koroisau leaves a significant gap at hooker. Adam Doueihi will again be crucial in directing the attack, while Terrell May and the Fainu brothers must win the forward battle.
The Warriors sit second on the ladder despite losing to the Dolphins before the bye. The return of captain James Fisher-Harris and exciting back-rower Leka Halasima strengthens an already imposing pack, while the halves pairing of Te Maire Martin and Chanel Harris-Tavita has continued to improve. Although Mitchell Barnett and Kurt Capewell are unavailable, the visitors possess enough depth to remain formidable. I am predicting the visitors to come away with the win but I am backing the Tigers to cover the +7.5 handicap.

Understanding Rugby Betting
It is crucial that players understand the different types of rugby betting. If a player places a wager on a handicap bet with fully understanding it, he could think they won the bet but instead they lost the bet as they did not understand how it works. Our rugby predictions will give you the option of the three way bet or the handicap betting as our previews will focus on this.
Different types of Rugby bets
Match Winner
The most self-explanatory of bets to take on a rugby match. This is the most common and oldest type of rugby bet in which you select Team A or Team B to win. The odds on this type of bet may be low especially if your team is the favourite.
Draw No Bet
The draw is quite rare in Rugby Union, but it does happen from time to time. If you’re worried about the draw messing up your bet then take a Draw No Bet market. Your bet will be refunded if the match result ends in a draw.
Handicap Betting
The most popular bets on rugby are handicap bets. This is often where some of the best value is to be found. The handicap is an advantage that bookmakers give one team to make the game more balanced. The team given the positive handicap can win, draw or lose the game by less than the handicap to cover the bet and win. The team with the negative handicap must win the match by more than the points set out in the handicap to win their bet.
Total points over/under
The over/under betting market involves predicting whether the total number of points scored in a match will be above or lower than a certain predetermined number. For instance, if you bet on the over/under 50 points market and you bet on under, the combined score of the two teams shouldn’t exceed 50.
First Try Scorer
Rugby fans know the excitement that comes when a player breaks through the defence to score the first try. Betting on the first-try scorer is about predicting which player from either team will cross the try line first. This bet type carries higher odds as it’s challenging to predict, making potential payouts more lucrative.
Anytime Try Scorer
Less specific than the first-try scorer bet, the anytime try scorer wager involves picking a player you believe will score a try at any point during the match. The odds are typically lower than for the first-try scorer but offer a better chance of a payout.
