Sydney Roosters vs Parramatta Eels prediction
Sydney Roosters currently sit third-place in the table but they aren’t far behind Penrith Panthers in top spot and the key for them is simply to keep winning. Parramatta Eels have spent the vast majority of the campaign down at the bottom end of the table and they are firm underdogs heading into this one.
Whilst Parramatta could frustrate the Roosters over the course of this game, Sydney on the whole are a better team and that should be reflected in the end here. Their attacking firepower will likely overwhelm the Eels and greater depth is expected to lead Sydney Roosters to victory.
