Parramatta Eels vs Canberra Raiders prediction
Canberra Raiders suffered the ignominy of getting nilled last time out against Sydney Roosters but stand a much better chance of success against a Parramatta Eels side who has a worse record than them so far in the NRL this campaign, winning just four times, compared to Canberra’s five victories. Whilst the Eels improved recently against Canterbury Bulldogs, they still wound up on the losing side.
This is likely to be a tense encounter with neither team able to afford a defeat when considering where both are in the table currently. The sheer lack of offense from Canberra against the Roosters was worrying though despite the quality of opponent and this is a big opportunity for Parramatta. Consider backing them to take it and edge out the Raiders.
