The Las Vegas Raiders' last game ended in a rout from the Denver Broncos, and now, on October 13, they are returning home, which should please their fans. After all, at their home stadium, the team has already won four of five meetings against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 21st century. However, bookmakers are sure of the opposite - the chances of victory are higher for the visitors.

Advantages of Las Vegas Raiders vs. Steelers

The first meeting of these teams took place in 1994, and since then they have met 32 ​​times. Las Vegas leads the series with a total score of 17-15. In home games, the Raiders have won four of seven meetings, and all victories occurred in the 21st century. However, the teams have only met once since moving to Las Vegas, and that year the Steelers won 23-18.

And while the Raiders' current defense is far from the best — they rank fifth in points allowed, having lost ground against the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos — they can be expected to show their best results against the Steelers' weak offense.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Need to Get Back to Winning

After a strong start to the season with three wins, the Pittsburgh Steelers have suffered two straight losses, losing by just one point to the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys. However, their defense remains strong, ranking second in the league in average points allowed at 14.6 per game.

The offense, however, has been less impressive at just 18.4 points per game, but has consistently scored 20 or more points in the last three games.

Match Prediction

The Steelers defense is expected to be strong enough to hold off the Raiders offense. While Pittsburgh's offense has been lackluster, players like quarterback Justin Fields, receiver George Pickens, and running back Najee Harris should put in some solid performances. The game is not likely to be a high-scoring affair, but the visitors should score enough points to cover a three-point deficit.
