Sunday, June 8, 4.05 PM, Round 4, Bankwest Stadium, Canterbury Bulldogs take on St George Illawarra Dragons NRL Match Preview

Battle of the deep, Bulldogs and Dragons needing their first win of the season, two desperate teams here looking for a win, how to separate and predict the victor, The Dragons have scored 32 more points than the Bulldogs so far this season, but the Dragons have leaked an extra ten points more than the Bulldogs in defense so far this season.

The Bulldogs enjoy playing the Dragons and have a strong record of wins against them overall, not to mention the venue which also benefits the bulldogs winning 55% of the games they have played there, Dragons only winning 20% of games at this venue, although both teams not travelling well this will be a very competitive match, offence vs defence.

The last time these two teams met the Canterbury Bulldogs at home lost dreadfully to the Dragons 36-12, were going with the Dragons offense to beat the Bulldogs defense and make it three on the trot against the Bulldogs.
