Parramatta Eels vs Sydney Roosters Predictions: Roosters Have a Favorable Advantage Over Eels

Parramatta Eels vs Sydney Roosters will take place on Saturday 18th June, 2022 – 12:35 (Moscow) at the CommBank in Parramatta. 

The Parramatta Eels had an awful performance last Monday, allowing Canterbury Bulldogs to earn only their third win of the season, and all eyes will be on how the Eels respond here.

Brad Arthur's team were poor on both sides of the ball as they lost 34-4 in a one-sided encounter that severely harmed their top-four ambitions, but the head coach has decided to stick with the same 17 for this game.

Gutherson, Sivo, Penisini, Blake, Simonsson, D. Brown, Moses, Campbell-Gillard, Mahoney, Paulo, Lane, Niukore, Papali’i – Interchanges: Makatoa, Matterson, Kaufusi, N. Brown – Reserves: Opacic, Arthur, Cartwright, Rodwell, Russell

The Sydney Roosters were defeated by the Melbourne Storm in a dramatic game last week, their second loss in a row, and they have now won just one of their previous four games.

The Roosters are outside the top eight heading into this match, but they can count on hooker Sam Verrills for this game, while Luke Keary is also named after sustaining a concussion last week.

Tedesco, Tupou, Smith, Manu, Suaalii, Walker, Keary, Collins, Verrills, Taukeiaho, Critchton, Tupouniua, N. Butcher – Interchanges: Watson, Hutchison, E.Butcher, Baker – Reserves: Lam, Suluka-Fifita, Momirovski, May, Keighran

The Tricolours have been off of form recently, which might allow the Eels to win, but the Roosters have won six of the last seven encounters between the two, so they are the small favourite in this one.
