Canberra Raiders vs. Newcastle Knights Predictions: Would the Raiders Get Their Chances Back?

Canberra Raiders vs Newcastle Knights will take place on Sunday 19th June, 2022 – 07:00 (Moscow) in GIO at Canberra. 

The Canberra Raiders failed to capitalize on meeting a depleted Brisbane Broncos side, falling to only their second loss in their previous six games in what was ultimately a dismal effort for Ricky Stuart's team.

The Broncos suffered multiple injuries, and despite leading at halftime by 18 points, the Raiders were held scoreless in a terrible second half performance, and they have now lost five-eighth Jack Wighton, who was ruled out of the game after testing positive for COVID-19.

Savage, Cotric, Timoko, Kris, Rapana, Wighton, Fogarty, Papalii, Woolford, Tapine, Young, Whitehead, Elliott – Interchanges: Starling, Sutton, Harawira-Naera, Horsburgh – Reserves: Schneider, Schiller, Mooney, Valemei, Trevilyan

The Newcastle Knights were defeated by the defending premiers Penrith Panthers last week, and they have now won only two of their previous 11 games.

The loss of key man and skipper Kalyn Ponga to a head injury in last week's game did not help the Knights, and while he has been picked at fullback for this one, he will still need to show his health before to kick-off.

Ponga, Lee, Gagai, Tuala, Young, Milford, Clifford, Klemmer, Randall, J. Saifiti, Frizell, Barnett, Mann – Interchanges: Sasagi, Thompson, Croker, Saulo – Reserves: Crossland, Hoy, Fitzgibbon, Clune, Hunt

The Canberra Raiders was disappointed last week, as they suffered their second loss in six games. They were defeated by the Brisbane Broncos in a game that they felt was theirs to win, despite their opponents facing some injury problems in the second half. They will be hungry to reply at home against a struggling Newcastle Knights team that has lost nine of their past 11 games after being thrashed by the Penrith Panthers last time out. The loss of Jack Wighton is a significant setback for the Raiders, but they will be confident in their chances in Canberra and should prevail.

• Handiсap Newcastle Knights (+8.5) for 1.82
• Total Over 42.5 for 1.832
• Any Team To Win With Difference Of 13 Or More – No for 1.8
