South Sydney Rabbitohs vs West Tigers Prediction: Both Sides Desperate to Win

South Sydney Rabbitohs will face West Tigers in the upcoming fixture of the National Rugby League. Going in the game, South Sydney Rabbitohs will be looking to get two important win points and get themselves into the top seven ranks. On the other hand, West Tigers are standing 13th with only 3 wins this season.

South Sydney Rabbitohs - Looking to Recover from the Loss Against Canberra Raiders

When the last time these two sides played against each other, the West Tigers (23-22) won an edgy game with only a 1-point lead. However, going in the upcoming fixture, Rabbitohs will be eager to compensate for their loss against the Raiders (12-32). Rabbitoh’s confidence was sky high when they defeated the Warriors (30-32); however, that confidence couldn’t remain persistent as they are still facing problems in getting consistent.
