Panthers vs Rabbitohs NRL betting preview

NRL fans got a treat with the Eels vs Roosters last round and this clash on Thursday evening could well be every bit as exciting.

The Penrith Panthers proved with a seven-point win over Melbourne that they can indeed match it with the top teams, while the Rabbitohs have shown great improvement after a slow start to the competition.

Penrith deservedly have the favouritism at $1.80 with Bet365, but Souths coming in as short as $2 just 48 hours before the match indicates how close this game should be.

The Panthers have the luxury of coming away unscathed from the Campbelltown goat paddock and will almost certainly field the same 17 who got the job done last start.

South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett has indicated star centre James Roberts will make his return into the side. It is not clear whether he will start, so there could be a swing in the head-to-head price once the team sheets are confirmed before kickoff.

Another feather in the cap of Souths has been the improvement of Latrell Mitchell in the fullback jersey. If he is truly back to his best and not just running up the score on bad teams, we will know for sure by the end of Thursday night.

Expect the Bunnies’ premiership odds to drop from the juicy price of $26 at Sportsbet if Latrell fires again and they win their third in a row.

One market you may want to look into for the Panthers is the half-time margin. They have led at half-time in each of their last four games by an average margin of six points, so the $6 at Marantelli Bet to lead at half-time by 5-8 points is enticing.

Considering Penrith have had their inconsistencies in the second half of games, the half-time/full-time combo of Panthers/Souths at $9 with Bet365 will no doubt draw the attention of punters as well.
