Injuries have been a curse for Melbourne Storm this season and Canterbury Bulldogs will be eyeing a rare win at AAMI Park when these sides clash in the NRL on Friday morning.
The Bulldogs have won only one of their last six games at AAMI Park, however, Canterbury find themselves in a good place and are fancied to leave Victoria with the spoils this week.
Melbourne Storm v Canterbury Bulldogs Tips Summary
Best Bet - Canterbury Bulldogs -5.5 handicap @ 1.78
Alternative Bet - Jacob Kiraz anytime tryscorer @ 2.00
Bet Builder - Canterbury Bulldogs to win, Jethro Rinakama & Sualauvi Faalogo anytime tryscorers @ 7.50
Melbourne Storm v Canterbury Bulldogs Prediction
Best Bet: Canterbury Bulldogs -5.5 handicap @ 1.78
With six wins in their last seven games in the NRL, the Bulldogs are on the march at an important time in the season.
In contrast, Melbourne's injury woes have seen them lose three of their last four outings and the loss of skipper Harry Grant to a hamstring issue has certainly not helped their cause.
The Bulldogs earned a 30-20 home win when they faced the Storm earlier this season and Canterbury are fancied to secure the victory and cover the -5.5 handicap again on Friday.
Alternative Bet: Jacob Kiraz anytime tryscorer @ 2.00
Switching focus to the anytime tryscorer market, Bulldogs winger Jacob Kiraz is hard to ignore given his tryscoring form against Friday’s opposition.
Kiraz has scored five tries in his last five games against the Storm and he’s good value at 2.00 to be a thorn in Melbourne’s side again this week.
