Panthers vs. Raiders Predictions

Ended

The NRL continues with Round 22 action between the Panthers vs. Raiders on Saturday, August 1 at 5:30 pm at Glen Willow Oval in Mudgee.

It’s an intriguing encounter on Saturday, despite the Panthers sitting in first and the Raiders at 11th on the ladder. It could be a closer game than expected at the country ground.

Best Bet

Raiders +8.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Raiders haven’t given up on playing finals footy, and their last four wins have been impressive.

They started the winning streak with a win over the Dragons before beating the Bulldogs, Rabbitohs, and Tigers. They smashed the Tigers 56-10 last week, and they’re good enough to keep it close against the Panthers.

We haven’t been impressed by the Panthers’ recent form, including losses to the Titans, Cowboys, and Broncos. There’s nothing to get excited about those performances, and even when beating the Eels last week, they didn’t look good.

Based on how they’re currently playing, the Raiders deserve to be much shorter in betting markets. Getting a +8.5 line, especially in Mudgee compared to CommBank Stadium, is ideal for Raiders’ backers, and it’s one of our most confident bets of Round 22.

Same Game Multi

Raiders +8.5, Xavier Savage Anytime Try Scorer, Thomas Jenkins Anytime Try Scorer, Over 44.5 @ $9.75

Bet Now

Punters get value odds for Xavier Savage to score a try at $2.25. He has five tries from his last five games, and he’s becoming a tough player to stop close to the line. In what should be a high-scoring game, Savage should add his name to the list.

Thomas Jenkins leads all try scorers in the NRL, and he could add to his total. He added to his total last week with a try against the Eels, and the $1.57 odds are good enough to boost payouts.

They combined for 48 points in their meeting earlier this year, and our NRL predictions have them scoring close to that mark, so include over 44.5 points.

Best Value Bet

Raiders H2H @ $3.35

Bet Now

Punters get excellent value for the Raiders to win outright. We priced them at $2.45, so the $3.35 odds are there for the taking.

It’s never easy to bet against the Panthers, but they haven’t looked good lately, and a confident Raiders team can beat anyone in the NRL.
