Bet Of The Day May 12 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Panthers have won the last six meetings between the teams
Roosters haven’t won at BlueBet Stadium since 2017
Panthers have won 29 of their last 32 games at BlueBet Stadium
Panthers have seen Under 41.5 points in their last four games
Roosters have seen Under 41.5 points in four of their last five games
Panthers are conceding just 13 points per game this season
Roosters are scoring just 17 points per game this season

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Panthers and Roosters clash in a heavyweight showdown at BlueBet Stadium.

Both teams have been below their best this season and are languishing near the lower half of the top eight, with most punters expecting them to be nestled inside the top four heading into the Origin period.

Big game for both sides, but we’re leaning with the Panthers at home. Penrith have won the last six meetings between the teams, while the Roosters haven’t tasted victory at BlueBet Stadium since 2017.

We’ll also be backing a relatively low-scoring affair.

The Panthers still have the best defence in the league, conceding just 117 points across nine games for an average of just 13 per match.

Meanwhile, the Roosters have the second-worst attack in the NRL, behind only the last-placed Wests Tigers. Trent Robinson’s side have scored just 153 points in nine games for an average of just 17 points per match.

The Roosters are struggling to settle on a halves combination, with Sam Walker dropped and Joey Manu moving to five-eighth to partner Luke Keary failing to take off.

The Panthers have seen Under 41.5 points in their last four games, while the Roosters have gone under this total in four of their last five games.

Penrith have won 29 of their last 32 games at BlueBet Stadium and we’ll back them for another victory at home with minimal points.
