South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Manly Sea Eagles Prediction: Eagles will cover the spread

Accor Stadium will host the NRL week 16 action between South Sydney Rabbitohs and Manly Sea Eagles. Both teams are coming off victories. How will this game end?

South Sydney Rabbitoh's last game was against the Brisbane Broncos, and in that game, they secured a 22-12 win. However, with that win, South Sydney Rabbitohs have won three consecutive games, the first two against Gold Coast Suns and the Parramatta Eels. In the NRL this season, South Sydney Rabbitohs have accumulated 12 points from 13 matches, positioning them 14th in the standings.

Manly Sea Eagles will come into this game following a 30-14 win over the St. George Illawarra Dragons. However, that win was Manly Sea Eagles second win in recent matches, as they also defeated Melbourne Demons in one other encounter that ended 26-20. In the meantime, this team’s games against Penrith Panthers, Brisbane Broncos, Dolphins and Canberra Raiders all ended in defeats. Going into this game, Manly Sea Eagles have accumulated 17 points from 13 matches, leaving them 8th in the NRL standings.

On the other hand, South Sydney Rabbitohs are home, and despite their recent performances, they can not be trusted.
