Penrith Panthers vs Parramatta Eels Preview

Parramatta had a tumultuous 2023 season, but their shining moments were undoubtedly the two gritty victories they secured against Penrith.

There’s something about facing the Panthers that seems to bring out the best in Parramatta.

However, the tables may turn this week as Parramatta squares off against a Penrith side eager to bounce back from a rare shutout loss—a scenario that places Parramatta in a precarious position.

Penrith has a remarkable track record of bouncing back after a defeat, covering the spread in 12 out of their last 15 games following a loss. Moreover, their dominance at home is undeniable, boasting a perfect 6-0 record against the spread at Penrith Stadium over the past three years after a loss.

With a talented roster and heightened focus, Penrith appears poised to overpower Parramatta.

Star player Nathan Cleary has been in fine form, finding the try line in five of his last six matches, including their previous encounter with Parramatta.

Meanwhile, Taylan May has emerged as a potent attacking threat for Penrith, boasting an impressive tally of 16 tries in just 23 NRL games, making him a player to watch in Round 1.

The Penrith Panthers are the heavily backed short priced favourites with betting apps to win the first of the Friday night matches with the Parramatta Eels given not much of a chance if betting is anything to go off.
