<p>The prodigal son returns as Lachlan Galvin and his Canterbury Bulldogs face the Wests Tigers at CommBank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.</p> <p>After the 20-year-old half switched clubs midseason, this will be the first time he comes up against his former teammates in what should be a fiery encounter.</p> <p>Galvin’s move to halfback during the last two weeks has paid dividends for his new team, with back-to-back wins including a thumping victory over Manly last Sunday to keep pressure on the ladder-leading Raiders.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the Tigers were belted 36-2 by the red-hot Panthers last week but have been boosted by the inclusion of fullback Jahream Bula after a five-week absence, along with Samuela Fainu in the back row.</p> <p>The Bulldogs have lost fullback Connor Tracey to injury, meaning Jacob Kiraz takes over the No. 1 jersey and teenager Jethro Rinakama comes back onto the wing after scoring a try in each of his first two career appearances.</p> <p>Check out our Wests Tigers vs Canterbury Bulldogs match preview for plenty of betting tips and predictions across a host of markets. From H2H to anytime try scorer and everything in between.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking for all the latest news, analysis, odds, and betting tips ahead of Galvin's return to Tigertown? Check out our Tigers vs Bulldogs prediction below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Tigers vs Bulldogs Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>Just in case they actually want to win a fourth consecutive wooden spoon, the Tigers keep making sure that they stay in touch with the bottom of the table.</p> <p>After a gutsy one-point win, they reverted back to their old ways last week, with a toothless, try-less display against the Panthers.</p> <p>Now they have to contend with a Bulldogs’ side, who after a small blip, are back on the war path.</p> <p>Doubles to Samuel Hughes, Jacob Kiraz and Bronson Xerri last week helped them pummel Manly 42-4 and ensure they stay right in the minor premiership race. Unsurprisingly, you find us tipping the Tigers here.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Canterbury Bulldogs.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Tryscorer Prediction</h3> <p>Reinstated Bulldogs winger Jethro Rinakama is our man for this market. In each of the Wests Tigers' last eight matches at CommBank Stadium, the opposition's starting right wing has scored at least one try. Jethro, you’re up.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Jethro Rinakama.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Line Prediction</h3> <p>Canterbury has failed to cover the line in each of their last five matches at CommBank Stadium.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Wests Tigers (+11.5).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Tigers vs Bulldogs Anytime Tryscorer Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Enari Tuala</h3> <p>In each of Canterbury's last four matches, its starting left wing has scored a try.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Sunia Turuva&nbsp;</h3> <p>In three of Canterbury's last four matches, the opposition's starting right wing has scored a try.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Jacob Preston&nbsp;</h3> <p>Jacob Preston has scored a try in five of his last six away appearances.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Jeral Skelton</h3> <p>Jeral Skelton has scored at least one try in three of the Wests Tigers' last four day matches.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Tigers vs Bulldogs Teams</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Wests Tigers Team List</h3> <p>1.
