Melbourne Storm vs Canberra Raiders Preview & Prediction

It’s fourth up against fifth on Sunday afternoon at AAMI Park as the Storm play host to the Raiders – however, both teams are coming into this clash in underwhelming form.

Melbourne have lost three of their last five games (although two were against the Panthers), while the Raiders have suffered defeats in two of their last three, barely edging out the Tigers last week too.

Incredibly, the Raiders have won their last five meetings with the Storm at AAMI Park, including knocking them out of the finals last season at this venue.

Tough to see Canberra replicating those victories again though – despite their lofty ladder position, they haven’t really been impressive at any stage of the year.

Indeed, the Raiders’ biggest winning margin has been 10 points, so they’ve been grinding out wins.

Melbourne are a different class when they’re performing at their best, which they’ve been doing for the most part at home lately, winning their last six games at AAMI Park.

The Storm were outstanding two weeks ago when they thumped the Eels 46-16, so with Jahrome Hughes and Xavier Coates returning after missing last week through injury, they will be confident of returning to the winners circle.

VERDICT

We mentioned Canberra’s excellent record at this venue, but they’ve been in poor form lately, so can’t see them making it six wins on the bounce at AAMI Park.

The Storm have some big guns back and should be gearing up to peak heading into the finals, while they’ve won their last six matches at AAMI Park. Melbourne’s last 11 wins have covered a -7.5 line, so that’s our best bet for Sunday (Best Storm -7.5 line odds $1.62 with bet365.)
