Parramatta Eels vs Melbourne Storm Prediction: An exciting 2023 start

The Parramatta Eels will face the Melbourne Storm in the opening game of the National Rugby League season in 2023 at Accor Stadium. The preseason for the home team concluded with a victory over the Newcastle Knights, while the preseason for the Melbourne Storm included only one victory, which came against the New Zealand Warriors.

Parramatta Eels - will hope for a better campaign

The 2022 NRL season was one of the best for the Eels. They finished fourth, behind the Cowboys, the Cronulla Sharks, and the Penrith Panthers. The Eels won 34 points from a total of 24 games. They scored 608 goals and let other teams score 489 goals against them. They were able to get past the Canberra Raiders in the quarterfinals and the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the semifinals on their way to a loss to the Panthers in the championship game. This was despite the fact that they had a fantastic postseason overall. We are now hoping for an incredible start from the host, even though they will now hope to make it to the playoffs in the regular season even if they are unable to clinch the position at the top of the table.

Melbourne Storm - slightly favored on the road

The lone scheduled preseason match that Melbourne Storm participated in resulted in the team's victory over the New Zealand Warriors away from their own stadium, and the team will now enter the new season in a position of strength. After a disappointing finish to their NRL season in 2022, the away team will be hoping for better results this year, despite the fact that there are many aspects of their game that still need to be worked on and improved. In the 2022 National Rugby League season, the Melbourne Storm accumulated 32 points over the course of 24 games, which was good for fifth place overall.
