Sydney Roosters vs Brisbane Broncos Prediction: A competitive encounter is expected

Allianz Stadium will be the venue for the National Rugby League encounter between Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos. The two teams will enter the new season with hopes and confidence. Which team wins this one? Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions. 

Sydney Roosters

The Sydney Roosters will hope to be at their best in this new season as they eye the title this year. The previous season, this team finished third in the regular season with 38 points from 24 matches. However, heading into the postseason, this team could not finish past the semifinal, having lost to the Melbourne Storm, even though they defeated the Manly Sea Eagles. Heading into the new season, the Sydney Roosters lost to the St. George Illawarra Dragons and Newcastle Knights, games that ended 26-8 and 10-48.

Brisbane Broncos

Brisbane Broncos will head into this game slightly favoured and will hope they can live up to the expectations. The previous season, the visiting team struggled, failing to make playoffs. In 24 matches played, this team had 26 points, 18 behind league leaders Melbourne Storm. In the meantime, the Brisbane Broncos head into the new season with consecutive wins in their preseason contest, defeating the Gold Coast Titans and Canterbury Bulldogs. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Sydney Roosters, despite being underdogs, cannot be written off here. Having seen what the Brisbane Broncos could offer and how the visiting team has played during the season, I believe they will be a decent side in this game. However, I am not convinced that the Roosters will give in easily here, and while I expect a lot of offensive play from them, I will back them to close the odds.
