South Sydney Rabbitohs vs New Zealand Warriors Preview & Prediction

Still under pressure to perform, the Rabbitohs welcome the Warriors to Accor Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Souths went 0-3 to start the season before limping over the line against the Bulldogs on Good Friday, holding on for a 20-16 victory.

However, it was far from a convincing performance and certainly not enough to say the Bunnies are back. Basically any other team in the competition would have been able to score more points than the Dogs, so the jury is still out on Souths’ defence.

The Rabbitohs have allowed the most metres in the competition so far this season, so the Warriors should get their chances to attack.

After an unlucky start to the season in which they lost by four points to the Sharks and Storm, the Warriors have won their last two games against the Raiders and Knights heading into this contest.

The Warriors have showcased immense grit and resilience to start the season and appear to be in a better headspace than the disjointed Rabbitohs outfit.

However, the Kiwi club will have to snap a daunting eight-match losing run to the Bunnies if they are to make it three wins in a row.

VERDICT:

Going to need to see way more from Souths to back them, so tentatively leaning with the Warriors in the H2H market.

We’ll back Over 40.5 points for our best bet – the Rabbitohs have seen 46+ points in three of their four games and would have seen more last week had the Dogs been able to attack. 12 of the last 13 meetings between these sides have seen 40+ points, so an attacking game is expected here (Best Over 40.5 total points odds $1.88 with Dabble.)
