The Canterbury Bulldogs and Parramatta Eels will play out the annual King’s Birthday clash at Accor Stadium on Monday. 

Both sides are languishing in 14th and 15th place respectively after the Bulldogs fell short to the Tigers 22-16 in their bid to produce back-to-back wins. 

Meanwhile, Parramatta put up a strong fight in a 28-22 loss to Newcastle, making it four losses from their past five matches. 

The Eels will be aiming to do the double over the Bulldogs this year after beating them 38-20 in Round 7. 

Cameron Ciraldo has kept the faith in the side that lost last week, with Sean O’Sullivan and Logan Spinks added to the extended bench. Connor Tracey and Marcelo Montoya are listed among the reserves. 

The Eels squad stays the same, although Jason Ryles could again opt to start Harrison Edwards at hooker over Tallyn Da Silva. Mitchell Moses remains sidelined after injuring himself at Origin camp.

Can the Eels rally without their skipper? Or will the loss of their greatest attacking weapon prove too much to overcome?

Bulldogs vs Eels Prediction and Betting Tips 

Head-to-Head Prediction 

Round 14 concludes with two traditional rivals desperately searching for momentum.

The Bulldogs have endured a disappointing campaign with injuries and a lack of consistency.

Parramatta have had similar struggles, although against the Knights, found a lot of positives and lessons to learn.

Despite being tipped to return, Mitch Moses has not been named for the Eels, and we all know how his presence instantly changes the way the Eels attack.

This should be close, but Parramatta’s lack of playmaking edge could prove decisive.

Betting tip: Canterbury Bulldogs. 

First Try Scorer Prediction 

Who doesn’t love getting one over their former club? It’s not hard to remember the acrimonious circumstances Josh Adoo-Carr departed the Dogs in and we bet he’d love to send them a message early in this one. 

As well as being one of the NRL’s all-time top 10 try scorers, Josh Addo-Carr has also scored at least one try in six of his last seven appearances against Canterbury.

Betting tip: Josh Addo-Carr.

Betting tip: Under (51.5) total match points.
