Canterbury Bulldogs vs Parramatta Eels Preview

Canterbury finally joined the winner’s list last week with a six-point win over the Sharks, but they’re about to face a much tougher test against an Eels side that has rattled off two double-digit victories.

Like we’ve seen on more than one occasion recently, Parramatta dominated possession last week against Brisbane from the get-go as Maika Sivo scored inside the opening minute on his way to a hat-trick.

Anything close to that kind of form will prove tough to stop for the Dogs, although Trent Barrett’s side should feel confident heading into this one after losing by only two points last time they met.

Before Bulldog fans get too carried away though, there are some injury concerns with Chris Smith and Matt Doorey needing to pass their HIA.

On Parra’s front, the Eels are set to welcome Ryan Matterson back from his own concussion issues.

From a betting perspective, the Dogs have been a decent play as the underdog against the Eels covering in six of their last nine games, which does make the +19.5 spread look a very enticing bet.

Nothing will come easy, but if the Bulldogs can force the Eels into mistakes like they did last week against Cronulla, there’s a good chance they keep the scoreline respectable.
