The South Sydney Rabbitohs head into round 7 looking to bounce back from a narrow loss to the Raiders in Perth, returning home to Accor Stadium where they have been almost unbeatable in recent years.

Desperate for their first win for the Dragons, they hope to stop their losing streak, as the next two weeks are must-win games for the club and Shane Flanagan.

This match carries two fascinating subplots, first with Keaon Koloamatangi chasing a win over his future club, having signed a five-year deal with the Dragons from 2027, and Matt Dufty finally has his NRL return moment at fullback against his former NRL club.

South Sydney were dealt a double blow heading into this clash, with fullback Jye Gray put with a shoulder injury and edge forward David Fifita ruled out with a hamstring injury, opening the door for Lachlan Hubner to go straight into the starting backrow.

South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St George Illawarra Dragons Prediction and Betting Tips

Head-to-Head Prediction

The Rabbitohs have won three of their last four games against the Dragons, while the Dragons have lost their last six games at Accor Stadium.

The left-edge combination of Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker and the return of Matt Dufty is shaping as the most dangerous attacking combination on the park.

If the Dragons are to execute clinically this game, they will need their halves to deliver in their kicking game and game management.

We predict the Rabbitohs to keep the Dragons winless and with their record against their opponents, it’s hard to turn a blind eye to their success at Accor Stadium against a club struggling in every which way. 

Betting tip: South Sydney Rabbitohs.

First Try Scorer Prediction

The Dragon’s defence has been poor this season, and the Rabbitohs found spark in the second half with their left edge attack against the Raiders.

They should have success tearing up the Dragons edge defence early.

Betting tip: Alex Johnston.

Over/Under Prediction

Each of St. George Illawarra's last four matches have gone under the total match points line.
