<p>Round 13 wraps up in Sydney with the Roosters hosting the Raiders at Allianz Stadium – and both teams are arriving with more momentum than a runaway shopping trolley.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Roosters who were missing troops due to Origin last weekend, somehow lit up Cronulla’s backyard with 42 points like it was a backyard BBQ.&nbsp;</p> <p>If that was an upset, it was the kind that leaves your betting slip in flames.&nbsp;</p> <p>Canberra, on the other hand, braved the rain and the Warriors to sneak away with two points in Auckland – and they climbed to third place while no one was looking.&nbsp;</p> <p>James Tedesco with a strong performance making you wonder if the Blues selectors accidentally left their TVs off last weekend.</p> <p>The Raiders have a habit of spoiling Roosters parties – and if Ricky Stuart’s men are serious about staying near the top, this is the kind of game they have to win.</p> <p>Expect fireworks, chaos and at least one moment that’ll make you say, “Wait… how did they score from there?”</p> <p>Here’s how the Roosters and Raiders lineup for this clash, as well as some betting tips for the H2H, first try scorer, and over/under markets. This is our Roosters vs Raiders prediction.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Roosters vs Raiders Team Lists</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Sydney Roosters Team List</h3> <p>1. James Tedesco</p> <p>2.
