Dragons vs Raiders Round 27 Tips – 07/09/2024

St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Canberra Raiders NRL Round 27 betting tips. Our expert NRL tipster previews Saturday’s game at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.

The Raiders are going to Netstrata Jubilee Stadium on Saturday afternoon to take on the Dragons. The Raiders have found an amazing run of form, beating the 2nd-placed Panthers and following that up with a win over 3rd-placed Roosters. Unfortunately, the Raiders have left their run too late, as they can’t make the finals.

The Dragons looked destined to play finals footy this year, but after two losses in a row, they’re also out of contention. Even if they win, they’ll finish in 9th place due to inferior points difference.

Prediction: Raiders to Win

The Eels, who are the 2nd worst team in the NRL, scored 40 points against the Dragons last week, while the Raiders are coming off back-to-back wins against the Panthers and Roosters, who are both serious premiership contenders. We don’t see how the Dragons can contain Joseph Tapine, who has 2nd most contact metres in the NRL and the 5th most run metres.

Winning Margin: Raiders 1 to 12

The Raiders don’t score many points, averaging less than 20 points per game. Likewise, the Dragons have a very ineffective attack, racking up just 21 points per game. The teams are also very equal when it comes to defence, so expect a close match.
