Melbourne Storm vs Parramatta Eels Preview & Prediction

With their respective top four and top eights spots in danger, the Storm and Eels square off in big Friday night showdown at Marvel Stadium.

Melbourne have won 10 of their last 15 games, but are coming off a disappointing defeat to the resurgent Knights last week.

The Storm have won their last five games after a loss and haven’t suffered back-to-back defeats since Rounds 2 & 3 at the start of the season, so they will be confident of bouncing back.

Craig Bellamy’s side also beat the Eels 16-12 on the road in a golden point thriller back in Round 1, so with the home ground advantage, the Storm deserve to start favourites.

Parramatta meanwhile have stumbled after five straight wins not so long ago, coming into this clash with two defeats from their last three.

With Maika Sivo and Reagan Campbell-Gillard both suspended, the Eels were outgunned by the Cowboys in Townsville last week.

With three matches remaining against teams inside the top four, the Eels have their work cut out for them in their bid to make the top eight.

VERDICT

The Storm certainly aren’t the dominant team they once were, but they’ve still only suffered back-to-back defeats once all season, so can’t see them dropping this one at home.

Parramatta have lost their momentum, and while they can lift against the big clubs, they haven’t looked slick over their last three performances.

Will back a Bellamy spray from last week to motivate the Storm into covering a -6.5 line in victory (Best Storm -6.5 line odds $1.95 with bet365.)
