NRL Indigenous Round’s Saturday action continues when the South Sydney Rabbitohs host the Parramatta Eels at Allianz Stadium.

Despite coming off a win, the Eels season is run and done as they are incapable of finishing the top eight.

The same cannot be said for Souths who sit exactly 8th heading into this one and their fans will be delighted to see just how dominant their recent record over the Blue and Gold is.

South Sydney has won 10 of its last 11 matches against Parramatta and will need to make it 11 from 12 if they want to hang on to their spot in the eight for another week. Can they do it?

Rabbitohs vs Eels Prediction and Betting Tips 

Head-to-Head Prediction 

Saturday’s action wraps up with a classic Sydney showdown between the Rabbitohs and the Eels.

These are two teams that have been so hot and cold this season, that we dread every time it comes to trying to tip them. 

Souths last five reads: LWLWL, while Parramatta’s is nearly identical at: LWLLW. Seriously, anyone got a coin on them. 

The biggest point of difference here could be proud Indigenous man Cody Walker always seems to go to another level every Indigenous Round and seeing as he’s already been in fine touch of late, we’re backing a big performance from him.

South’s finals hopes are also very much alive and the same cannot be said for Parramatta who flatlined a while ago. With that in mind, Souths should have plenty more to play for here and as a result go into out bet slips. 

Betting tip: South Sydney Rabbitohs. 

First Try Scorer Prediction 

As previously mentioned, Rabbitohs five-eighth Cody Walker seems to find another gear every year during Indigenous Round. 

Walker also seems able of locating that next level whenever he faces the Eels too. He has scored at least one try in three of his last four appearances in the starting lineup against Parramatta.

Put two and two together and picking Cody Walker as the first try scorer for this match starts to look very appealing indeed.  

Betting tip: Cody Walker.

Over/Under Prediction 

Each of Parramatta's last nine matches have gone under the total match points line

Betting tip: Under (45.5) total match points. 

Line Prediction

South Sydney has covered the line in each of their last six matches as a favourite in Sydney.

Betting tip: Rabbitohs (-9.5) line.
