Roosters v Eels match preview
The Sydney Roosters are flying heading into round 24 of the NRL Premiership, and they’re set to host the struggling Parramatta Eels at Allianz Stadium on Friday night.
The Chooks have won six of their last seven six matches dating back to round 15, when they beat the Eels in Parramatta. In third spot on the NRL ladder, Sydney will have their sights set on cementing their position leading into finals.
The Eels had their hearts broken by the Panthers at CommBank Stadium last Friday night, with Penrith scoring 16 unanswered points to win in the dying minutes of the match. They are also fighting to avoid the wooden spoon, sitting two wins clear of the last-placed Wests Tigers.
Eels interim coach Trent Barrett has replaced Matt Doorey with Kelma Tuilagi on the bench in an otherwise unchanged side.
Coming off a bye in round 23, Trent Robinson has struck with the same Roosters lineup that beat the Dolphins in Perth a fortnight ago.

Roosters v Eels predictions
The Roosters have won four of their last five matches against the Eels, who have failed to cover the line in each of their last nine games when playing with a rest disadvantage. As there is little value in the standard margin markets, back the Roosters to win by 19 points or more at $1.77 with Neds.
As each of the four clashes between these teams has produced at least seven tries, this is likely to be a high-scoring affair. Some 22 of the Eels’ last 28 matches have gone over the total points line, while the Roosters have scored 31 points or more in five of their last six games at this ground. Expect this one to go over 53.5 total points, which pays $1.90 with major NRL bookmakers.
The Roosters have built a habit of starting strong against the Eels, scoring the first try in seven of their last eight encounters. Winger Dom Young has scored tries in each of Sydney’s last six home matches, and he’s also been the first tryscorer in each of his last three home games against bottom-four sides. At $7 with Bet365, the Englishman offers great value to cross first once again.
