Canberra Raiders - North Queensland Cowboys: our prediction

The Cowboys have won 80% of their last 10 matches, compared to only 30% for the Raiders. Additionally, as favorites, the Cowboys win 70% of the time, while the Raiders as underdogs win only 60%. The trend is clearly in favor of the away team.

Statistics show that both teams tend to score less in the second half. The Raiders have only 30% of their matches with more goals in the 2nd half, and the Cowboys 40%. Combined with the Cowboys' potential defensive dominance, a total under 55.5 points seems plausible.
