Canberra Raiders v Dolphins: NRL Sunday Preview

Canberra Raiders will look to continue their strong start to the season when they take on the Dolphins at GIO Stadium on Sunday.

The Raiders are sitting pretty in fourth spot on the ladder after winning the last three games, and will be full of confidence on home soil.

However, so too will the Dolphins after they picked up arguably the biggest result in their short NRL history last week.

They smashed the Melbourne Storm by 20 points and will be looking to carry on where they left off when they head to Canberra for the first time.

The three meetings between these two sides have been tight encounters, and Sunday’s clash in the nation’s capital should be no different.

Canberra Raiders v Dolphins betting preview

Raiders flying high

Canberra continue to fly high this season and are well on the way to locking in a top-eight spot after winning five from the first seven.

Carry on in the same fashion, and a spot in the top four could even be on the cards, so they need another two points against the Dolphins.

The Raiders have won the last two games against the Dolphins by one point, and it could go to the wire once again.

The green machine can be backed at 7.50 to win by 1-5 points.

They will be backed by a large crowd at GIO Stadium for the first Sunday afternoon home game of the season, so that will also weigh in their favour.

If they do run away with it, they are priced at 2.80 to win by 13+ points.

Hudson Young is in great form, scoring six tries in the last three games, and the second rower is 2.33 to score another at anytime.

Dolphins on cloud nine

The Dolphins should still be on a high after coming from behind to smash Melbourne Storm by 20 points last weekend.

It was a remarkable result and should give them plenty of confidence as they head to Canberra for the very first time.

The Dolphins have also won the last three games on the bounce and are one of the most potent sides in the NRL at the moment.

They have scored a total of 108 points over the last three games and can be backed at 1.80 to score over 20.5 points on Sunday.

The Dolphins had seven different tryscorers against the Storm, with winger Jack Bostock among them.

Bostock can be backed at 9.50 to score the first try of the game or 2.05 to score at anytime.
