South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Parramatta Eels prediction
This is a fixture that in recent years has been dominated by one team. South Sydney Rabbitohs have consistently made the lives of Parramatta Eels miserable and the head-to-head results tell the story. Ten of the 11 matches between the pair have been won by the Rabbitohs and with motivation high for them in this enthralling race for the post-season, don’t expect any complacency from the hosts in this latest contest.
Parramatta Eels got the better of lowly Wests Tigers in a battle between two clubs in the bottom five last weekend. Safe to say, their opponents this time around will pose a far bigger attacking threat when you consider the calibre of players within this Rabbitohs squad, not to mention the return of their skipper. Any outcome other than a comfortable win for the home side after taking an early lead would be a surprise here.
