Following back-to-back wins over the Cronulla Sharks and Brisbane Broncos, the Sydney Roosters will be full of confidence ahead of their NRL clash with the Parramatta Eels at Allianz Stadium on Saturday morning.
The Eels have lost four of their last six games but did pick up a victory last time out in a 23-14 win at home to the Manly Sea Eagles.
However, Parramatta have a miserable record at Allianz Stadium and it’s hard to see the Eels leaving the ground on Saturday with anything to show for their efforts.
Sydney Roosters v Parramatta Eels Tips Summary
Best Bet - Sydney Roosters -10.5 handicap @ 1.90
Alternative Bet - Josh Addo-Carr anytime tryscorer @ 2.05
Bet Builder - Sydney Roosters to win, Over 38.5 total points, Mark Nawaqanitawase & Daniel Tupou anytime tryscorers @ 3.25
Sydney Roosters v Parramatta Eels Prediction
Best Bet: Sydney Roosters -10.5 handicap @ 1.90
With four wins in their last five matches against the Parramatta Eels, it’s fair to say the Sydney Roosters have been the dominant force in this local match-up.
With the Eels last beating the Roosters at Allianz Stadium in 2008, this is not a venue that holds many happy memories for Parramatta.
The Eels have lost four of their last five away games and, with that in mind, the Roosters are backed for the win and to cover the handicap this weekend.
Alternative Bet: Josh Addo-Carr anytime tryscorer @ 2.05
Normally a prolific tryscorer, it’s been somewhat of a barren spell for Eels winger Josh Addo-Carr.
While Addo-Carr has not crossed in his last five NRL appearances, he has scored nine tries in his last four games against the Roosters and is good value to rediscover his try-scoring form on Saturday.
