Canberra Raiders vs Penrith Panthers Prediction: Struggling Raiders have no chance

The fifth round of matches for the National Rugby League will take place at GIO Stadium, with the Canberra Raiders playing host to the Penrith Panthers. The host team is the underdog in this matchup, while the Panthers suffered another defeat at the hands of the Eels over the last weekend.

Canberra Raiders - too poor this season

The Canberra Raiders have had a terrible start to the season, and despite the fact that they defeated the Cronulla Sharks two weeks ago, they were humiliated once again in their most recent match when they lost to the Newcastle Knights. The Canberra Raiders now have two points and are ranked in the 16th slot out of 17 in the National Rugby League standings. This is due to the fact that they have only managed to win one of their first four matches so far this season.

Penrith Panthers - Panthers will step up

The Penrith Panthers will attempt to put an end to their erratic play and can now look forward to a spectacular season. The Penrith Panthers are currently ranked sixth in the National Rugby League rankings despite having just four points to show for their four league matches. This is due to the fact that the team has gotten off to a shaky start to the new season. The Penrith Panthers have now scored 44 points so far this season, but they have also given up 40, making this one of the worst starts to a season they've had in the last three years.

Expert Betting Tips

Even if both teams are doing poorly, the Canberra Raiders' play is just below average, and we do not believe that they will be able to withstand the test posed by the attacking Panthers. As a result, we anticipate that the Penrith Panthers will win this match in both halves with a performance that is utterly unrivaled by their opponents. However, despite the fact that we think Canberra Raiders will have less success in attack, a bet on the home team to score a few points is a sensible one.
