South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Parramatta Eels prediction

The South Sydney Rabbitohs (16th) snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 20-18 win over the Gold Coast Titans last week.

The Parramatta Eels (13th) are finishing the season much better than how they started, having won two out of three, including a 19-18 golden point thriller against the North Queensland Cowboys last week.

Rabbitohs flyer Alex Johnston has traditionally loved playing the Eels. He has a phenomenal 18 tries in 15 matches.

Likewise for the Eels winger Josh Addo-Carr has scored 14 tries in his 14 appearances against the Rabbitohs.  

The Rabbitohs have dominated this fixture recently, winning eight of the last nine encounters, including both clashes last season.

With both teams out of finals contention, this match is about building for the future. The battle between prolific wingers Johnston and Addo-Carr promises be a highlight.
