Gold Coast Titans vs. Parramatta Eels Recent Scores
Before making a Titans vs Eels prediction, it is worth examining the previous clashes between the sides. The Eels hold a very slender advantage in the head-to-head record, as they have landed 12 wins to the eleven victories recorded by the Titans.
However, the recent clashes make for damning reading for the Titans, as they have lost each of their last seven against the Eels, with their most recent success coming in the form of a 26-14 win in March 2017.
Gold Coast Titans vs. Parramatta Eels Betting Analysis
Gold Coast Titans Facts To Know
The Titans have endured a stuttering start to the new season in the NRL, which is evident from their position of tenth in the overall standings. However, they have still managed to record four wins from the eight games that they have played. They also come into this Magic Round game after ending a two-game losing sequence last weekend.
It was a much better display last time out, as they held on to claim a 26-10 win on the road against the Sea Eagles. The character of this Titans team was on full display last weekend, as they were able to regain composure after a shock loss against the Dolphins. However, they will still need to improve on that performance level against an Eels side that is clicking into gear.
Parramatta Eels Facts To Know
The Parramatta Eels will also come into this match with question marks hanging over them. They were considered among many rugby league predictions as a standout side for a playoff finish this term, but they have won just four of the nine matches that they have played to this point. However, the confidence within the camp should be high coming into this weekend after delivering one of their most complete performances of the season last weekend.
It was a night that went exactly to plan for the Eels last weekend, as the Knights had little response to the free-flowing attacking play on display by Parramatta. Dylan Brown was the standout player, and he could once again be the important player for the Eels this weekend, and for the remainder of the season if they are to finish in a playoff spot.
Updates
Before making a Titans vs Eels prediction, it’s important to consider that Gold Coast will be without one of their stars in the form of AJ Brimson this weekend. Meanwhile, Sean Russell will drop to the bench for the Eels, as Bailey Simonsson is fit enough to return.
