Brisbane Broncos vs Canberra Raiders Prediction: Raiders will show character again

Suncorp Stadium will host the 7 NRL encounter between the Brisbane Broncos and Canberra Raiders this week. Going into this game, both teams were victorious in their last league encounter. How will this one end?

Brisbane Broncos won their last game against the Dolphins, and coming here, they will look to secure back-to-back victories for the first time this season. With six games played this season already, Brisbane Broncos are 3-3, with two other games against the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the NQ Cowboys ending in wins. However, their defeats came against the Penrith Panthers, Sydney Roosters, and Melbourne Storms. Brisbane Broncos now head into this game, seated 10th spot of the standings with six points from 6 games.

Canberra Raiders had to force their game to extra time as they defeated bottom-spot Gold Coast Titans last weekend. In that game, Canberra Raiders scored three tries, three conversion goals, and one penalty. However, they also scored a dropped goal, with their total runs being 239 compared to Titans’ 173. This season, Canberra Raiders have now picked up four wins in six games, with three others coming against the Parramatta Eels, Wests Tigers, and Newcastle Knights. The visiting team is positioned 3rd in the league standings with 8 points.

Both teams are expected to approach this game with a winning mentality, which should be an offensive-minded game from the first meeting. On the other hand, the Brisbane Broncos are doing well without their little general Adam Reynolds. Meanwhile, the Canberra Raiders have a good record against the Queenslanders, but it will be put to the test in this one. This should be a tight one by looking at the two sides' form; hence, a bet on the visiting side to close the odds.
