Preview:
The market says it all really – this top eight battle is almost too close to call.
Parramatta got their season back on track with a big win over the Broncos at home last fortnight, but there are plenty of reasons to feel confident in the Raiders, and it all starts with their three-game winning streak.
Canberra finds themselves as the favourites this week in Darwin, and although TIO Stadium could be called neutral ground, the Green Machine should be well supported up north.
Form-wise, it goes without saying the Raiders are the more consistent side. Canberra has won four of its six games away from home this year, compared to the Eels, who haven’t strung together back-to-back wins since Rounds 1 and 2.
Things only get worse for the Eels this weekend when you consider Canberra has won five straight games over Parramatta dating back to 2016. Throw in their Round 5 shutout loss to the Raiders earlier this year, and it’s tough to fade Canberra on their hunt for a spot inside the top three.
In case you need further convincing though, the Raiders are also 4-2 as the line favourite in all games against the Eels.
For some added value, Parramatta’s last three games have also gone Over the Total.
