Melbourne Storm vs Parramatta Eels Prediction: Demons to fight back in this game

The National Rugby League encounter between Melbourne Storm and Parramatta Eels will take place at Suncorp Stadium. The odds favor the home team to win, but can the roadside ☂turn the tables? 

Melbourne Storm saw a run of five games end the previous weekend against Cronulla Sharks, as this side lost 18-25 to their rivals. In the meantime, the run of wins were against Brisbane Broncos, Canterbury Bulldogs, Sydney Roosters, South Sydney Rabbitohs, and Gold Coast Titans. Despite last week's poor performance, Melbourne Storm have accumulated 16 points from 9 matches this season, positioning them 3rd in the league standings.

Parramatta Eels have lost their third straight game following a defeat to the Brisbane Broncos last weekend. However, looking at this side's last six league games, they picked up just one win. Parramatta Eels lost to Canberra Raiders, Wests Tigers, Dolphins, and Manly Sea Eagles in other games, with their lone win against NQ Cowboys. This season, Parramatta Eels have accumulated 8 points from 9 matches, positioning them 13th in the standings.

Following last weekend's defeat, Melbourne Storm are expected to step upꩵ their game, be at the to💜p level, and show resilience. In the meantime, Parramatta Eels have played below par in each of their last matches, and considering the importance of this game to the Storm season objectives, I am backing the home team to win with a good margin.
