Wests Tigers vs Canberra Raiders Prediction: Raiders to eke in this fixture

At Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Wests Tigers will play the Canberra Raiders in an NRL round 16 encounter. Let’s predict this game and make predictions.

Wests Tigers

Wests Tigers losing streak ended last weekend with a win over Gold Coast Titans in an 18-10 encounter. In that game, the Wests Tigers were behind with four points in the opener, a 6-10 loss at the end of the first half. However, second-half performances saw this team win 12-0, good enough to overwrite their poor first-half start. However, it is worth noting that this team lost eight consecutive matches before that win. This season, Wests Tigers have accumulated 10 points from 13 matches, positioning them bottom spot of the standings.  

Canberra Raiders

Canberra Raiders are coming off a defeat against the NQ Cowboys. In a game that ended 16-34, the Canberra Raiders failed to score a single goal in the first half while conceding 22. However, while scoring 16 goals while conceding just 12, Canberra Raiders could not keep up to their first half deficit loss. Heading into this encounter, Canberra Raiders have accumulated 18 points this season from 13 matches, positioning them 7th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Wests Tigers have been disappointing and despite their win last weekend, I do not trust them yet. On the other hand, Canberra Raiders have done well this season, and I trust them better. Take the road team to win in a game that should end with many defensive plays.
