Sydney Roosters vs Parramatta Eels Preview

The Roosters should win this comfortably, but there is value on the Eels' team total. They have gone over the 16.5 points in seven of their last 10 matches and can do so ago.

The Roosters allow an average of 19.25 pts per game to their opponents this season.
Parramatta average 22.25 pts per game against top 5 Scoring Defences.
Roosters games against bottom 8 opponents are 7-3 to the Over.
Sydney have the highest ranked attack for tries in the middle of the field scoring 2.11 per game. James Tedesco is most likely to cross in that area.

Head to Head

The Roosters and Eels have met on nine occasions since the beginning of the 2019 season. Sydney hold a commanding 7-2 record including a 28-18 win over the Eels in round 15 earlier this year.

Sydney Roosters Form

The Roosters enjoyed their 3rd and final bye last weekend and have won 6 of their last 7 games prior to that to perch them up at 3rd spot on the ladder heading into this weekend with the best points differential of any team in the league (+219).

The likelihood of them taking the minor premiership is slim even given their relatively easy run home but a top 4 spot should all but be guaranteed for the tri-colours.

They are the top scoring team in the league with the 5th best scoring defence and have not lost to a bottom 8 team this season.

Parramatta Eels Form

The Eels snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last weekend against the Panthers. Being one of the only teams with a winning record against the defending premiers since the beginning of their dynasty the glory was there for the taking for Parramatta.

Unfortunately for their fans three tries in four minutes to their opponent wrapped up with game with little time remaining on the clock.

Parramatta have been rudderless for most of the season without Mitch Moses and it seemed like they had finally struck some gold early in this game with combinations firing.

Their defence would ultimately let them down again, as it has done multiple times this season consigning them to 2nd last on the ladder.

Parramatta Eels Team News

Kelma Tuilagi returns to the team via the interchange with Matt Doorey the player to make way. Maika Sivo is listed amongst the reserves as he pushes for a return from injury.

Verdict

Sydney Roosters v Parramatta Eels
