Parramatta Eels vs Penrith Panthers Prediction:
It will be a mouth-watering Western Sydney derby on Friday night at CommBank Stadium. The Eels are the only team to beat the Panthers this season. Moreover, the 20-22 win was an away game for the Eels.
Despite losing against the Broncos at home last week, the Eels will draw a lot of confidence from their previous meeting with the Panthers.
The Panthers have won 20 of their previous 21 games. They are 8 points clear off the top.Â
The defending premiers Panthers were not at their very best last week. They came from a double-digit trail to win the match against the Sharks by 20-10 points. Moreover, their key players Jarome Luai and Stephen Crichton will be unavailable due to injury.
We predict the Eels will be pumped up by the home crowd to bag a close victory.
