Raiders vs. Storm Predictions

The NRL continues with Round 7 action between the Raiders vs. Storm on Friday, April 17 at 6:00pm at GIO Stadium.

Pressure is on the Storm to end their four-game losing streak, in what is their most important game of the season.

Best Bet

Storm –2.5 @ $1.90

It’s not easy to bet on a team coming off four straight losses, but it’s a rare occasion for the Storm, and now could be the best time to bet on them.

After getting hammered by the Warriors in a demoralising game last week, the Storm needs to turn up and apply the blowtorch on the Raiders. They are rarely outmuscled, and although they don’t have their full complement of players, they are good enough to beat the Raiders.

Canberra ended its losing streak with a nervous win over the Rabbitohs, where they almost blew a big lead. It was a good win, but if the real Storm turns up, we expect them to win and cover the –2.5 spread without much fuss.

Will Warbrick looked certain to score a try last week, but it didn’t happen for him. He might be departing at the end of the year, but the former rugby 7s star has plenty more tries to score for the Storm before he leaves. Take the $1.75 for Warbrick to get back to his try scoring ways.

Sualauvi Fa’alogo had six tries in four games before failing to fire last week. However, despite not crossing for a try against the Warriors, his speed should be enough to get around the Raiders defence at $1.91 odds.

It could be a high-scoring game, and based on their recent defence, the Raiders and Storm could leak plenty of tries. Include over 48.5 points in NRL same game multi bets this week.

Best Value Bet

Will Warbrick First Try Scorer @ $8.50

Bet Now

Warbrick has a point to prove this week, and if the Storm wants to get their confidence back, scoring the first try is a good way to do it.

Our NRL predictions have Warbrick finishing off a stellar backline move for the Storm, and he’s one of the best finishers in the NRL, so he gets his chances.

$8.50 for Warbrick to score the first try is a good price from the sportsbook, so snap up the value.
