Both teams have met several times, but their recent scores were when they faced each other in round 1 of the ongoing season. The Parramatta Eels were the home team, and they lost the game by a 12-16 scoreline. Before that, they played two legs in the last campaign, and we found out Parramatta Eels was the better team, winning the two games.  

According to the league table and team performance, the home team, Melbourne, is the better side, but their last four meetings make it tricky to predict this game. Parramatta Eels won three of their last four meetings, but they are below Melbourne in the league table. 

Looking at the available NRL odds, the home team owns the favorite odds to win this game. In that case, we will support the home team to keep their position in the top four spots.

The Parramatta Eels are among the teams in the ongoing NRL season with average performance, and they are currently in the top eight spots, which is still encouraging as a team. They have played nineteen games, won ten, and lost nine. Overall, they earned 24 points. 

Both teams will play this game to earn additional points for their initials, and we expect a solid lineup. We expect Nick Meaney and Trent Loiero in the squad for the Melbourne team, and Mitchell Moses and Tanah Boyd are expected in the Parramatta Eels team. These teams lost their last match, so we expect an exciting game from them. 

The NRL odds for this game are ready, and we discovered that the home team owns the favorite odds to win. The team odds are -222, and their expected chance of winning is 69%, but this team wins 50% of their previous matches whenever they are given these odds.

According to the above analysis and available odds, the home team is better, even though Parramatta Eels dominated the Melbourne Storm in their last four meetings. The home team is still in the top four in the league. So, we will support them to win this game.
