The 2025 NRL Minor Premiers go in search of a bounce-back win on Saturday at the Cbus Super Stadium (15:00 local, 06:00 BST, Watch NRL) as the Canberra Raiders’ stuttering ’26 campaign continues against the Gold Coast Titans.

The Green Machine take a 3-5 record with them to Robina, with Ricky Stuart still trying to find the right mix after last season’s limp play-off effort. Here are my Titans vs Raiders predictions, the latest team news and Betfred’s match odds.

Titans vs Raiders Odds

There’s almost nothing in this one for many neutrals, and Betfred’s outright odds follow that line of thinking.

The Titans are narrow 10/11 favourites, with the Raiders EVS for the 80-minute win. It’s 14/1 for a draw and the need for golden-point extra-time.

Team News

England utility back AJ Brimson is back in the Titans’ line-up after missing the loss to Warriors a fortnight ago on parental leave. Chris Randall also comes in having recovered from a calf injury.

Jaylan de Groot and Cooper Bai are the ones to drop to the bench to make way for the two returnees.

Rugby League Odds

There are changes aplenty for the Raiders. Out goes Zac Hosking after suffering a concussion, while Noah Martin has undergone double ankle surgery.

That means two new faces in the second row, with Simi Sasagi stepping up and Ata Mariota coming in off the bench. Chevy Stewart, Owen Pattie and Jordan Uta are added to the interchange selection.

Seb Kris and Savelio Tamale switch over, with the former moving to centre from the wing. Morgan Smithies drops to the bench, with Corey Horsburgh moving to the front row and Jayden Brailey in the starting XIII at loose forward.

Raiders by 1-12 @ 12/5

I have a hard time backing the Titans, even despite their 52-10 hammering of the Eels in Round 6.

Other than that stunning display, they have scored pretty rarely. And while Josh Hannay has done a decent job of tightening up their leaky defence of ’25 under Des Hasler, they’re still prone to shipping a try or two too many.

So in what should be a very tight contest, I have to believe it will be Canberra getting their nose out in front at the crucial moments. The 12/5 price about a narrow Raiders win imply a 29.4% probability, but I have them ahead of that.

Double Result: Raiders-Raiders @ 13/8

In a game that might well have its twists and turns, I still fancy the Green Machine to show a measure of control if they can get ahead early.

To that end, I like the look of the 13/8 for them to be leading at the break and see the game out.

If we’re supposing the Raiders win, then the odds are in our favour. They achieved both legs of the double result in 47.4% of their wins in 2025, while the odds imply a 38.1% chance.
