Raiders vs. Rabbitohs Predictions – NRL Round 20 2026

The NRL continues with Round 20 action between the Raiders vs. Rabbitohs on Saturday, July 18 at 3:00pm at GIO Stadium.

Kicking off Super Saturday are the Raiders and Rabbitohs, where the Raiders are 5-0 in their last five games against the visitors.

Best Bet

Rabbitohs @ $1.92

Bets have come for the Rabbitohs to win, and although a close game is expected, they should have the edge over the Raiders.

South Sydney comes off a win over Newcastle without Cody Walker, so with Walker returning to the lineup following a suspension, the Rabbitohs will only be harder to beat.

There was early money for the Raiders to win following their wins over the Dragons and Bulldogs. They produced an impressive win last week, but their form prior was poor, and the Rabbitohs could expose their weaknesses.

With the Rabbitohs currently in sixth on the NRL ladder, this looms as a big game for them. The Raiders are on the outside looking in, but they would need a lot of things to go their way to make the NRL finals. Therefore, back the Rabbitohs to score the win.

Same Game Multi

Rabbitohs H2H, Alex Johnson Anytime Try Scorer, David Fifita Anytime Try Scorer, Over 49.5 @ $9.50

Alex Johnson is enjoying another big year for the Rabbitohs, and he’s adding more tries to his record tally. The winger has eight tries from his last five games, and after going scoreless last week, it’s hard to keep a prolific try scorer down.

David Fifita brings value to NRL SGM picks. He has a try in three of his last five games, and he’s enjoying the systems at South Sydney. He could add another try to his tally, and punters get $2.90 to enjoy from bookmakers.

The Rabbitohs have been involved in some high-scoring games, and this could be no different. Include over 49.5 points in your multi bet.

Best Value Bet

Rabbitohs 1-12 @ $3.20

We have the Rabbitohs winning outright, but it should be a game decided by 1-2 tries. Therefore, we’re taking them to win by 1-12.

They dug deep to hold off the Knights last week in a 26-24 scoreline, and it could be a similar score against the Raiders.

The $3.20 odds are worth including as a value bet.
