Parramatta Eels vs New Zealand Warriors prediction

Parramatta Eels have lost five of their eight games so far across this NRL season and desperately need to try and putting a winning run together. They have their work cut out here though against New Zealand Warriors, who sit second-place in the table with six wins from their eight matches. They’ll be expected to control much of the action across the 80 minutes.

Injuries are threatening the Warriors however and it’s important that Parramatta try to take advantage. But New Zealand Warriors boast a significant level of depth and are still worth backing to edge out the struggling home side.
