Match Details
- Date: 2025-09-07
- Time: 6:05 AM UTC
- Location: CommBank Stadium
Game Overview
The Parramatta Eels, in strong form with recent wins over top teams and a confident lineup, face the struggling Newcastle Knights who are on an eight-game losing streak and have poor recent head-to-head results in Sydney.
Key Factors to Consider
- Parramatta Eels are in strong momentum with recent victories including against the Roosters and Warriors. Newcastle Knights have lost their last 8 games, showing defensive vulnerabilities and a late-season collapse.
- The Eels have dominated recent matchups, winning 7 of the last 8 encounters, including all Sydney-based matches since 2018.
- No major injuries reported for Parramatta; Dylan Brown returns bolstering the Eels' backline. Newcastle's injury details are minimal but their form decline suggests weakened squad depth.
- CommBank Stadium favors Parramatta with home ground advantage and supportive crowd. No weather or other external conditions reported to impact play negatively.
- Parramatta look motivated to finish the season strongly with a farewell game for Dylan Brown, while Newcastle are demoralized due to their long losing streak and poor playoff chances.
