Rabbitohs vs Bulldogs Round 4 best bets

South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Canterbury Bulldogs NRL match preview

Good Friday football kicks off for round four of the NRL Premiership in Sydney with the Rabbitohs hosting the Canterbury Bulldogs at Accor Stadium.

The last time these two sides met was a high-scoring thriller where the Rabbitohs pulled up four points short of taking the game to extra time. Souths come into this clash desperate for a win after their 42-point thrashing at the hands of the Roosters, while the Doggies will be looking to ride the wave from their 32-0 over the Titans.

Both sides have named unchanged lineups; however, South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou has listed Lachlan Ilias in the extended squad after his brilliant performance in the NSW Cup last weekend, and the halfback could be a late inclusion to the starting side.

Rabbitohs vs Bulldogs NRL R4 betting tips

Souths have lost each of their last seven matches in Sydney, and this Friday does not look to bring an improvement to that record. The Rabbitohs have failed to dominate the middle third of the field, while the Canterbury Bulldogs have been improving greatly over the early weeks of the season. Expect the Bulldogs to win this match as +148 outsiders.

Bulldogs captain Stephen Crichton will be playing the Bunnies for the first time since leaving the Panthers last season. When playing for Penrith, Crichton scored at least one try in eight of his last nine appearances against the Rabbitohs. Continued improvement from the Bulldogs should see Crichton more involved in the attack, allowing him to score a try at any time as a +230 chance.

Blake Wilson scored two tries in the first two rounds, with the Bulldogs losing both games. Last weekend against the Titans, Wilson had more tackle breaks than the first two weeks combined with more possessions of the football. He has scored a try in each of his side’s last four matches away from home and should find the in-goal area again on Friday, paying +135 with the top NRL bookmakers.
