Sydney Roosters vs. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Betting Analysis
Sydney Roosters Facts To Know
There will be pressure on the home side this weekend, as they must get back on track after a damaging run of form. The Roosters come into this match after winning just two of their last seven matches in the NRL. That run of results has seen them drop down to tenth in the overall standings, and the next few matches could be key in determining their finish in the NRL standings this season.
A victory this weekend would put them back on course for a playoff finish, while a loss could leave them with a huge challenge on their hands to make it into the top eight. Sydney lost for the third straight game in their previous match, as they were defeated narrowly by the Dragons on May 19. However, they have had a bye to refresh for this showdown on Sunday.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Facts To Know
It has been a desperate start to the new season for the Bulldogs, and the Roosters vs Bulldogs betting analysis is pretty damning against them this weekend. The visitors have a poor record in this fixture, as they have lost 14 of their last 18 matches against the Bulldogs. They come into this match sitting 14th in the overall standings, as they have won just five of their opening 12 matches this term.
Meanwhile, no side in the competition currently boasts a poorer points difference than the Bulldogs, which could be damning if they are able to reverse their fortunes and move up the standings. However, the Bulldogs at least come into this game in slightly better form, as they landed a 20-18 win in their most recent NRL fixture against the Titans on May 21.
Updates
The Roosters will be without Brandon Smith and Victor Radley this weekend, but Lindsay Collins could return. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs could be without Josh Addo-Carr and Tevita Pangai Jr this weekend.
