Brisbane Broncos vs Parramatta Eels Preview
Brisbane is heavily favored in this must-win clash, but with key players like Reece Walsh, Ezra Mam, and Payne Haas sidelined, this game has potential danger written all over it. The Eels welcome Maika Sivo back to the starting lineup, but with their season effectively over and their poor road form, backing them isn’t advisable. However, the over looks appealing given the trends.
The over has hit in 21 of the last 25 Eels road games and is 38-22 when they are coming off a game where they conceded 20 or more points. Additionally, the over is 29-15 when the Eels are underdogs.
For Brisbane, the over is 9-5 when they play a bottom-five team, and 14-8 when favored by more than a converted try at Suncorp.
On the tryscorer front, Brendan Piakura has three tries in his last 10 matches, while Blaize Talagi has an impressive 11 tries in 15 NRL starts.
