Manly Sea Eagles vs Parramatta Eels Prediction: Eels to pick first season win

In the third round of matches for the National Rugby League, the Manly Sea Eagles and the Parramatta Eels will battle it out at 4 Pines Park. Last Saturday, the home team defeated the Canterbury Bulldogs to earn their first victory of the season, while the Parramatta Eels have now been defeated in both of their matches so far this season.

The previous weekend saw the Manly Sea Eagles defeat the Canterbury Bulldogs in their first game of the season, which resulted in a 31-6 victory for them. As a result of an early try scored by Trbojevic and successful conversions by Garrick, the home team prevailed in the first half of that encounter by a score of 12-6. However, they had a far better performance in the second half, as evidenced by the fact that they won the dominating match 19-0. The Manly Sea Eagles are now in fourth place in the standings of the National Rugby League after earning two points in their opening game of the season.

The Eels have gotten off to a rough start this season, dropping their first two matches to the Melbourne Storm and the Cronulla Sharks, respectively. Yet, there is a significant amount of room for development with this team, as they are currently performing at a lower level than they did in the previous season. The fact that they are considered the underdogs in this match is indicative of how low they have been rated during the current campaign. They are currently located in the 16th slot in the standings of the National Rugby League.

We anticipate a victory for the Parramatta Eels in this encounter, which will require them to turn around their performance from the previous games. But, considering that the Manly Sea Eagles have started the season in fine form, we anticipate that they will turn in a solid performance; hence, a wager on the over will be a profitable one.
