Both Parramatta Eels and South Sydney Rabbitohs have had a challenging few weeks as they prepare to clash at CommBank Stadium on Thursday.
Losing three games on the spin before victories last time out, both these sides have identical form over the last four matches ahead of this clash in Sydney.
The Rabbitohs have fond memories in this NRL matchup and the Bunnies will be looking to pile more woes on the Eels at CommBank Stadium this week.

Parramatta Eels v South Sydney Rabbitohs Prediction
Best Bet: South Sydney Rabbitohs -4.5 handicap @ 1.86
Winning nine of their last 10 games against the Eels, the Rabbitohs have clearly been the dominant force in this rivalry.
The Eels have not beaten the Rabbitohs at CommBank Stadium since 2019 and the Bunnies are good value to win and cover the handicap on Thursday.
Souths come into this match on the back of a confidence-boosting 48-6 win against the Brisbane Broncos and the Bunnies can cover the spread against the Eels here.
Alternative Bet: Alex Johnston two or more tries @ 2.40
With 19 tries in 12 appearances in the NRL so far this season, Bunnies winger Alex Johnston is enjoying another stellar campaign.
Johnston has scored 18 tries in 16 games against the Eels and is backed to bag at least a brace against the porous Parramatta defence.
Parramatta Eels v South Sydney Rabbitohs Bet Builder Tip
South Sydney Rabbitohs to win
Over 36.5 total points
Josh Addo-Carr anytime tryscorer
Pays 4.25
With only St George Illawarra Dragons conceding more points than the Eels in the NRL this season, expect Parramatta to lose a high-scoring contest this week.
Going for over 36.5 total points would have landed in three of the last four meetings between these sides and that trend is tipped to continue here.
Meanwhile, Josh Addo-Carr needs just a single try to move to outright seventh on the all-time NRL tryscorer list and the Eels winger, who has scored six tries this season, is backed to reach that landmark on Thursday.
