Canberra Raiders vs Parramatta Eels Preview

On paper, the game between the Canberra Raiders and the Parramatta Eels could be the most closely contested fixture of the weekend. Both teams are on four points and have just one point separating them in the points difference standing. One selection for this game is for many goals to be scored straight off the bat, as both Jamal Fogarty and Clinton Gutherson should take to the field. They are two of the most prolific goal-scorers so far this season.

The Green Machine is proving a massive headache for punters lately, alternating between brilliant grit and completely falling away. Heading into this clash, Canberra’s up-and-down form makes pulling together accurate NRL betting predictions a real challenge. Meanwhile, Parramatta is desperate to salvage some pride after leaking soft points over the last few rounds, making their defensive line a major worry. If you’re tracking the latest NRL betting odds, the bookies have this priced incredibly tight. Our latest round of NRL Expert Tips favors the Raiders to just edge it on home turf, purely because the Eels struggle to travel consistently.
