Bulldogs vs. Wests Tigers Predictions

Ended

The NRL continues with Round 20 action between the Bulldogs vs. Wests Tigers on Saturday, July 18 at 7:35pm at Accor Stadium.

The Bulldogs look to bounce back from a poor loss, and the Tigers’ record at Accor Stadium helps the Bulldogs’ chances.

Best Bet

Bulldogs -5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Bulldogs couldn’t have been more disappointing when losing 40-16 to the Raiders last week, but punters should expect much better this week.

With that loss under their belt, the Bulldogs don’t have much wiggle room when it comes to making the NRL finals, and a win over the struggling Tigers is a must. The Tigers are 0-10 in their last 10 games at Accor Stadium, so the Bulldogs won’t get a better chance to win.

The Tigers come off four consecutive losses, including losses to the Dragons and Warriors most recently. Losing to the Dragons is a rough loss, and even since Jarome Luai signed with PNG, their form has gone from bad to worse.

The -5.5 line might not last much longer, so we’re making it one of our best NRL bets this week.

Same Game Multi

Bulldogs -5.5, Jethro Rinakama Anytime Try Scorer, Jacob Kiraz Anytime Try Scorer, Under 45.5 @ $11.25

Bet Now

We keep including Jacob Kiraz in our NRL SGM picks, and although he hasn’t scored in his last four games, we’re giving him one more chance. He hasn’t been getting many good opportunities, but the $1.82 odds are worth taking.

Coming up with the goods is Jethro Rinakama, who has three tries in his last two games. Punters always get value odds for him to score, so include him in picks for value.

We can’t see the Tigers scoring too many tries, having scored totals of 6, 10, and 6 points in their last three games. Therefore, include under 45.5 points.

Best Value Bet

Bulldogs 13+ @ $2.60

Bet Now

There is every chance of the Bulldogs producing a big effort against the Tigers, who are their perfect opponents in this situation.

They desperately need a win to stay in touch with the top eight, and with the Tigers playing without much energy, it could be a one-sided game.

We’re taking the $2.60 odds for a 13+ win as our best value bet, and if they play well, the Bulldogs could win by 20+.
