Penrith Panthers vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Preview

The Bulldogs will face the Penrith Panthers and ironically head into this matchup as the underdogs. The Panthers have beaten the Bulldogs in all games between both sides, making it difficult to even call this a rivalry.

After their performance last week against the Rabbitohs, there is little doubt concerning the Panthers' ability to keep winning this season.

The Bulldogs, on the other hand, have won three of their last five matches but haven’t given us much to believe in. They consistently fall short against the top-four teams (17 straight losses) and can only seem to beat teams that are just scraping by. That said, they shouldn’t be completely dismissed.

They have won two matches in a row for the first time this season and their momentum is up. The Bulldogs will be hungry to prove themselves against a strong team and with former Panther, Stephen Crichton, on their side, they will feel a bit more confident about getting the upset.

However, it’s more likely that this match will expose just how wide the gap is between both teams. Currently, the bookies are favoring the Panthers $1.17 to beat the Bulldogs $5.20, showing just how impossible a Bulldogs victory seems.
