Preview:
The Eels have had a good run of form in the last few weeks but they have had a pretty easy draw so this will prove to be tougher.
The Knights have been playing alright but have struggled to get the wins on the board so this weekend will be a game in which they should be able to turn their form around.
We have this game marked as a very close game on paper so we will be backing the Knights at the odds although confidence is not high.
