Raiders vs Panthers Round 25 Tips – 24/08/24

Canberra Raiders vs Penrith Panthers NRL Round 25 betting tips. Our expert NRL tipster previews Saturday’s game at GIO Stadium.

The Panthers are heading down to Canberra to take on the Raiders at GIO Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Penrith has chosen the perfect time to take a road trip down south, with winter ending early this year.

The Panthers are coming off a heartbreaking loss against the Storm but are still premiership contenders. The Raiders, on the other hand, have lost three in a row and need a minor miracle to finish in the top 8.

Prediction: Panthers to Win

Despite Nathan Cleary being out of the lineup, the Panthers should be too good for the struggling Raiders, who have lost three in a row. It’s hard to imagine the Raiders going from losing 42-4 to the Cowboys to beating the defending premiers.

We aren’t basing our prediction simply on gut instinct. The Panthers are extremely difficult to score against and have the 2nd best defence in the NRL. To make matters worse, the Raiders have really struggled to score points this season, averaging under 20 per game.

Line: Panthers -9.5

The Panthers are going to miss Cleary, but in our opinion, Penrith should still win by 10 points or more. The Raiders lost their two matches by more than 10 points, and now they can’t make the top 8, their morale is going to be very low. If the Panthers score a few early tries, look for the floodgates to open!
