Parramatta Eels vs St. George Illawarra Dragons prediction
Parramatta Eels could not have responded any better to getting destroyed by Melbourne Storm, bouncing back to shock reigning NRL champions Brisbane Broncos, winning 32-40 on the road against Michael Maguire’s side. Such a result will have proven massive for the confidence of this Parramatta squad, who return home buoyant.
St. George Illawarra Dragons are still without a win this season and that chances of that changing here are low when considering their record away to Parramatta. They’ve lost in each of their last four visits to CommBank Stadium and based on recent form, that isn’t expected to change on this occasion.
