Canterbury Bulldogs vs Parramatta Eels prediction

Canterbury Bulldogs have lost six from their last seven ahead of this encounter, which sees them take on a Parramatta Eels side who need to improve from an offensive perspective after only scoring 30 points across their last two games, both of which ended in defeat for them. They’ll hope for better luck against a slumping opponent.

You could argue that there is a lack of quality across both of these two teams and that may well be reflected in the scoreline. It would be no surprise if we saw a contest low on tries and instead of picking a winner, backing under 49.5 points to be scored looks to be a smart play. 

Canterbury Bulldogs vs Parramatta Eels tip: Under 49.5 total points
