Eels vs Dragons Round 26 Tips – 31/08/2024

Parramatta Eels vs St. George Illawarra Dragons NRL Round 26 betting tips. Our expert NRL tipster previews Saturday’s game at CommBank Stadium.

The Eels are hosting the Dragons at CommBank Stadium in Parramatta on Saturday afternoon. Parramatta suffered a heartbreaking loss against the Broncos last week after blowing a 16-0 lead and is in a desperate bid to avoid the wooden spoon.

The Dragons suffered a tough loss in Woollongong to the Sharks. Another loss and the Dragons risk slipping outside the top 8, so this is a must-win game for St. George!

Prediction: Dragons to Win

The Dragons may not be premiership contenders this year; however, they are still a level or two above the Eels, who have only won 5 games this whole season and will likely take home the wooden spoon.

We are going to continue to follow the trend and bet against Parramatta. How can you back a team that, on average, concedes almost 30 points per game?

Line: Dragons -4.5

In Parramatta’s last 7 of their 8 losses, the losing margin has been 5 points or more. The Dragons may not have the best attack, scoring almost the same number of points as the Eels this season. However, with the Eels giving up so many tries and their star, Mitchell Moses, out with a ruptured bicep, expect the Dragons to win this one by at least a try or two.
