Wests Tigers vs. Eels Predictions

The Eels are favourites to hand the Tigers another loss, but the hosts form could turn around this week.

Best Bet

Wests Tigers +7.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We are taking a risk by including the Tigers in our NRL picks this week, but we’re prepared to give them one more chance.

Their form since the middle of the season has been as close to awful as it gets, including scoring just 16 points from their last three games. We don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors, but the players should still lift for pride reasons.

If they want to show their fans that they still care, a better effort is needed against the Eels. Both teams are out of finals contention, so it’s all about pride. The Eels have played well recently, but we never feel confident betting on them to cover a -7.5 spread.

A close game is expected between the struggling franchises, so take the Tigers with the start.

Wests Tigers +7.5, Sunia Turuva Anytime Try Scorer, Adam Doueihi Anytime Try Scorer, Over 48.5 @ $12.00

It has been a trying week for Adam Doueihi, who got into a fight with coach Benji Marshall. He’s back in the team this week, and he could score a try. Punters get $3, and he has three tries from his last five games, so he’s playing well.

Sunia Turuva hasn’t profited in the try-scoring department, and he could be ruing his move away from Penrith. However, he’s on the wing, and there should be plenty of tries in this match. Punters get him at $2.05 to score.

Our final score prediction has the Tigers winning 30-26, so include over 48.5 in NRL predictions.

Best Value Bet

Wests Tigers 1-12 @ $3.90

Bet Now

The Tigers tend to win a few games at the end of the year to give their fans hope for next season.

It has been nothing short of a shocking year for the club, especially after showing improvement last year, but they could give the Eels a tough game.

The $3.90 odds for a 1-12 win is worth backing for a team desperate for victory.
