Short Preview

On July 12, 2026, the South Sydney Rabbitohs will host the Newcastle Knights in a highly anticipated NRL clash at their home ground. Both teams come into this match with contrasting recent performances. The Rabbitohs have struggled, winning only 2 of their last 5 outings, showcasing inconsistencies in both attack and defense. In contrast, the Knights have hit their stride, with 4 victories in their last 5 matches, highlighting their tactical prowess and form.

Bookmakers favor the Knights slightly with odds of 1.88 for an away win compared to 2.05 for the Rabbitohs at home. This reflects the current momentum that Newcastle has built. In terms of tactical strengths, the Knights have demonstrated a robust offensive strategy recently, finding ways to exploit defensive lapses, while the Rabbitohs will need to tighten their defense to reclaim form and capitalize on home advantage.

Our model assigns a 45.6% probability of a home win for the Rabbitohs, while the Knights hold a slightly higher likelihood of 49.1% for an away victory, alongside a 5.2% chance of a draw.
