Newcastle Knights vs Parramatta Eels prediction
All the momentum is with Newcastle Knights ahead of this game, who are recently combining defensive stability with attacking potency, reeling off a series of wins in the process. Across their last three NRL matches, two of them have seen the Knights give up less than 13 points, whilst they are accumulated 122 points over the course of all three fixtures.
Parramatta Eels have lost three of their last four and took two steps back last time out, suffering an 8-34 beating at the hands of Melbourne Storm. All four of their most recent matches have seen the Eels give up over 30 points and it’s hard to see that changing against a red-hot Knights attack. Therefore, back the home team to overwhelm Parramatta offensively and ultimately pick up another win.
