New Zealand Warriors vs Canberra Raiders Preview & Prediction

An intriguing contest awaits across the ditch on Friday night as the Warriors play host to the Raiders at Apollo Stadium in Christchurch.

These sides have experienced contrasting starts to the season, with the Warriors 0-2 following some unlucky defeats and the Raiders 2-0 with some blitzing victories.

The Warriors blew an early 12-0 lead in their season opener against the Sharks, ultimately falling 16-12, while they suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the final seconds against the Storm last week, with Xavier Coates scoring one of the most incredible match-winning tries of all time.

Far from panic stations for the Warriors, but another defeat here at home to the Raiders would spark concerns that another top four finish may be out of reach.

Meanwhile, the Raiders are flying high at the top of the table after crushing the Knight 28-12 in their opening game and backing it up with a comfortable 32-12 home victory over the Tigers last week.

Canberra welcome back Elliott Whitehead to their team this week, pushing the impressive Zac Hosking back to the bench.

VERDICT:

Raiders look great value in the H2H market and also at the line, with six of the Warriors’ last seven wins against them coming by just four points or less.

We’ll back the Raiders at a generous line of +15.5 and with Over 32.5 total match points, which has landed in 12 of the last 13 meetings between the teams (Best Raiders +15.5 & Over 32.5 total points odds $1.85 with Dabble.)
