Parramatta Eels vs Wests Tigers prediction

Parramatta Eels won their last home game against the Dragons but most recently shipped 48 points in defeat away at Penrith Panthers. Back on their turf here, now is the opportunity for them to bounce back but they take on a Wests Tigers side full on confidence. The visitors were excellent in their 14-32 victory over New Zealand Warriors last time out and their offense will fancy racking up plenty more points this time around.

However, Parramatta Eels should prove far tougher opposition at home and they’ll be expected to take the game to the Tigers from an attacking perspective. It would be no surprise to see an end-to-end contest with plenty of chances for both teams to score and backing over 48.5 total points appears a shrewd move.

Parramatta Eels vs Wests Tigers tip: Over 48.5 total points
