Andrew Hendrie: Apr 21, 2023

The NRL Round 8 match between the Parramatta Eels and Brisbane Broncos features as Bettingpro.com.au’s best bet for Friday April 21.

Bet Of The Day April 21 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Eels have won six of the last seven meetings between the teams
Eels have won six of their last eight games in Darwin
Broncos lost to the Raiders a fortnight ago and were down at half-time last week vs Titans
Eels beat Broncos 46-6 in their last encounter in Darwin
Over 43.5 points has landed in four of the Eels’ last six games
Over 43.5 points has landed in two of the Broncos’ last three games (69 last week vs Titans)

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Eels target their biggest win of the season when they take their home game to Darwin to face competition leaders the Broncos.

Parramatta are languishing outside the top eight, but they’ve had an extremely tough draw to open the season and were suffering from a bit of a Grand Final hangover from last season.

The Eels come into this clash following back-to-back wins over the Tigers and Bulldogs and now look ready to take on the big boys. They did also beat the Panthers in golden point in the Grand Final rematch earlier in the season too.

We’re going to back the Eels to pull off the upset and Over 43.5 points in the match at juicy odds of $4.33 with BoomBet.

Parramatta have owned this match-up in recent times, winning six of the last seven meetings between the teams, including a thumping 46-6 victory in Darwin two years ago.

I’m not convinced with the Broncos either. They’re capable of sublime footy, but they’re also a young side who sometimes don’t like to get dirty and grind things out. If their attack doesn’t immediately click, they can get frustrated and go for the ‘Big Play’ too much.

The Broncos lost at home to the Raiders a fortnight ago and were losing to the Titans at half-time last week. A better side than Gold Coast would have won that game, which the Eels certainly are.

The Mitch Moses contract saga is finally over and this is a game he needs to step up and justify his price tag.

Plenty of points should be expected too – the last three meetings between the teams have seen 50+ points scored, while the Broncos saw 69 points last week against the Titans.

Parramatta have also seen Over 43.5 points land in four of their last six games.
