South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St George Illawarra Dragons Prediction – Round 25 2025

Round 25 kicks off with a classic rivalry with one side looking to continue their winning ways and upset teams with the odds stacked against them and the other looking for way into the top 8.

The Rabbitohs defied the odds against the Eels as Superman came to the rescue…oh wait, that’s not Superman, that’s Jye Gray! That’s right, Jye Gray had multiple try saving tackles in their four point win, and considering the amount of talent they have on the sidelines, it was a huge win given the form the Eels have been playing in the last month.

Meanwhile, the Dragons exhausted their players in New Zealand, losing three players to concussion, and two of them in one brutal collision. 

The Dragons are hoping they can land in their ideal destination of the finals, and for this game in Homebush, expect a fiery matchup given the Bunnies want to keep their momentum rolling against a Dragons side also scraping for players to fill a squad. 

With both teams missing 60% of their salary cap, here’s how the Rabbitohs and Dragons line up for this clash, as well as some betting tips for the H2H, first try scorer, and over/under markets. This is our Rabbitohs vs Dragons prediction.

Rabbitohs vs Dragons Prediction and Betting Tips

 

Head-to-Head Prediction

The Rabbitohs are planning to go on a run before their clash with the Roosters to end the season, and with the Dragons having a lot of injuries as well, the Rabbitohs are getting some troops back.

Historically, the red and green have won their last nine home games against the Dragons. 

While the Dragons are going to make this game competitive and compete physically, the Rabbitohs are on a two game winning streak that they will want to keep building as their season ends.

Betting tip: South Sydney Rabbitohs

 

First Try Scorer Prediction

Mat Feagai has a knack for being the first try scorer, especially against sides that give up space out wide.

With Souths showing signs of vulnerability on the edge, Feagai could find himself finishing off a slick Dragons shift to the corner before fans even settle into their seats.

For the Dragons, Feagai claiming the first try of the game would be a huge start to what is expected to be a quality game, just like the start to their last game against the Warriors where he would also score a second try shortly after. 

Betting tip: Mathew Feagai first try scorer.

 

Over/Under Prediction

This clash is shaping up to be a grind. Each of South Sydney’s last six home games against the Dragons gone UNDER the total match points. 

With both sides leaning into defence-first mindsets and chances of raining leading into this game, expect a low-scoring arm-wrestle.

Betting tip: Under total match points.
