One of the best rivalries in Rugby League reignites on Friday in front of a sold out Panthers Stadium.
Best Bet
Penrith -12.5 ($1.90)
Penrith and Parramatta have traditionally played tight, low-scoring games as both teams have emerged as powerhouses over the last few years. In five of the last seven games, the match has been decided by a single score. In the last six games, five have not totalled more than 26.
This Penrith team though is just so relentless at home that they just need to be bet even when heavily favoured. That is particularly so against a Parramatta team ravaged by injury.
The Panthers have won four straight against the Eels but the key to this is Penrith’s record at Panthers Stadium. They have covered 21 of 30 at home including 6 of 7 when favoured by more than two converted tries. The Panthers have covered 18 of 23 at home at night and 11 of 16 at home off a double digit win.
Parramatta have covered just 4 of 12 as an underdog of more than a converted try and just 3 of 9 off scoring 6 or fewer.

Same Game Multi
Izack Tago/Stephen Crichton ($4.33)
Tago has been outstanding in his first full season with six tries in eight games as a left centre.
Crichton also has six tries in eight games this season and is a central part of the Parramatta attack.
Value Bet
Penrith 13+/Under 39.5 ($4.60)
Penrith have covered six of seven at home when favoured by more than two converted tries. The under is well in play here too. The under has hit in 12 of the last 13 clashes between the Panthers and the Eels with Parramatta being held to six or fewer in three of the last four meetings.
