Parramatta Eels Facts To Know
Before making rugby betting predictions on any fixtures, it’s important to assess the form of the teams involved. It could be hard to make a case for the Eels in this match, based purely on the form that they have shown already this term.
They come into this game having lost each of their opening three matches at the start of the season, which is a damaging piece of Eels vs Panthers betting analysis.
That start to the season sees them sit 16th in the overall standings, with their most recent defeat coming last Thursday against the Sea Eagles. Defensively, they will need to improve based on that recent outing, as they allowed 34 points against the team that sits third in the overall standings.
Penrith Panthers Facts To Know
Like when it comes to making Rugby 6 Nations picks, examining the form team is imperative before making a bet on the latest action in the National Rugby League.
The Panthers are certainly the form team coming into the fixture this week, as they sit fifth in the overall standings, having won once and lost once from their opening two matches of the season.
The Panthers have also had extra time to recover ahead of this fixture in the NRL, as they were last in action on March 9 when they were 16-10 winners against the Rabbitohs. However, that fixture was played in front of their own fans, and they will be looking to showcase that same form in their first game on the road this term on Thursday.
Updates
The Eels will have Ryan Matterson back from suspension for this fixture, but Matt Doorey and Jack Murchie remain out.
Meanwhile, the key Panthers team news to be aware of before making bets on the leading Rugby 6 Nations odds sees Scott Sorensen back in contention. Matt Eisenhuth could make way for the returning star.
