Eels vs Panthers Preview by Dean McHugh

You could be forgiven for thinking this one will be a one-sided affair in favour of the visitors. However, the Eels have won two of the last three meetings between them, and they beat the Warriors in New Zealand last week, which is no easy task. Parramatta have also won three of their last four at home against Penrith. 

That said, I do believe the Panthers will win, but I can’t back them at these short odds, and 18.5 is a lot to cover in the handicap betting. Given Parramatta’s good record against Penrith and the fact that their attack clicked last week, I’m going to take them to go over the team total set by the bookies here. They’ve only once failed to score more than the total set here this season, and that came away from home.
