Parramatta Eels vs Melbourne Storm Preview

Melbourne Storm looks set to reinforce their top spot as they face an underperforming Parramatta Eels side this Friday. The Storm, sitting comfortably at 14-3, delivered a strong performance recently, beating the Sydney Roosters 24-8 with key contributions from fill-ins like Grant Anderson and Jack Howarth.

The Eels, struggling with injuries and poor form, have won only one of their last 11 games and are now focused on avoiding the wooden spoon. Their defense has faltered, conceding over 20 points per game since Round 4.

Melbourne has dominated their recent encounters with Parramatta, including a 46-12 win last season and a 48-12 victory earlier this year. With Christian Welch and Nelson Asofa-Solomona returning from injury, the Storm’s balanced attack and solid defense present a tough challenge for the Eels, who have struggled at CommBank Stadium.
