Parramatta Eels vs Gold Coast Titans Preview & Prediction

It’s a huge game for the Eels and Titans as the two teams square off at CommBank Stadium on Sunday night.

Just two points separate the teams on the ladder, with the Titans dropping to 11th on the back of their golden point loss to the Dolphins last week, while the Eels were crushed by 40 points against the Warriors.

Both sides were missing several stars to Origin, so those defeats shouldn’t be too concerning, but whoever drops two games on the bounce will have the pressure on heading into the final third of the season.

Parramatta had won five straight games before last week and will have Mitch Moses and skipper Clint Gutherson back on deck, with the latter barely featuring in Origin mid-week.

The Eels have won seven of their last eight games against the Titans, but did drop their last clash in Magic Round earlier this season.

Gold Coast continue to be one of the most dangerous attacking teams in the NRL, but defence and inconsistency remains a big issue.

Form on the road is also concerning, with the Titans losing six of their nine away games this year.

VERDICT

Eels should be getting the job done at home with Moses and Gutherson back and the Titans generally being poor on the road.

However, we’re going for a high-scoring game for our best bet. These two sides are outstanding in attack, but defensively they are lacking. Two of the last three meetings have seen 50+ points score, while the Eels have seen 56+ points in their last two (Best Over 47.5 total points odds $1.90 with bet365.)
