MATCH PREVIEW:

The South Sydney Rabbitohs will be out to make it three consecutive wins against the Brisbane Broncos when the sides meet at ANZ Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:30pm AEST.

Brisbane’s recent form at the Olympic stadium hasn’t been impressive – failing to notch a victory in three of their previous four visits against all sides.

While they haven’t met the Rabbitohs at Homebush since 2006 – and only twice at all Sydney grounds inside the last decade – it’ll be interesting to see how the Broncos fair this time around.

Coming off a strong last-start showing at home against a struggling Bulldogs outfit, the visitors will be full of confidence as they look the keep their finals hopes alive.

However, while Brisbane met a side on the slide last week, tonight’s task is a whole new proposition.

The Bunnies took a huge step towards ending their 42-year title drought last week, disposing of minor premiership favourites Manly with ease at the SCG on Friday.

The Burgess brothers were out in full force against the Eagles, making way for Adam Reynolds and Luke Keary to weave their magic in the latter stages of their sets.

While Reynolds has found his feet again in recent weeks after a poor start to the year, his opposite number – Ben Hunt – has been in stellar form throughout 2014.

The battle of the halves will largely determine the result of this match. However if Reynolds can again kick well, control the game and distribute early ball to Keary and his fellow outside men, I see a Souths victory.

Souths by 6.

Can the Rabbitohs make it five straight wins or will the Broncos buck their ANZ stadium curse?
