Preview:
The Eels are well and truly on their way to playing finals now thanks to a convincing 20-14 win over the Knights.
Clinton Gutherson starred for Parramatta in the early going as he crossed the line twice in the first half. The Eels also put forward a dominant performance defensively to help control possession and earn their 12th win of the season.
While the Eels now look towards the finals, the end of the season can’t come quick enough for the Titans. Gold Coast slumped to its seventh straight loss last week, this time to the Dragons in a 40-28 blowout.
With all eyes on September, a trip to the Gold Coast is just what the doctor ordered as the Eels prepare for the pointy end of the season.
Unfortunately, Parramatta’s recent record on the Gold Coast speaks for itself. The Eels have lost three straight games to the Titans at home, which explains the slim line set by the bookies this week.
The Titans have won only twice at home all year, which makes an upset extremely unlikely. At the same time though, the Eels have won only four of their 10 games on the road, leaving the possibility of a close, low-scoring game, relatively high.
These two sides have combined for 40-points or less in their last three encounters, so play on Friday’s game going Under the Total.
