The Wests Tigers will host the Parramatta Eels in Round 7 of the 2025 NRL season. The Tigers are currently positioned 8th on the ladder, coming off a strong 20-6 win over Newcastle, whereas the Eels are struggling at 17th place, recently suffering a heavy 50-12 defeat to the Raiders. The match is expected to be highly competitive despite Parramatta's poor form, largely due to the return of key players, especially skipper Mitchell Moses, who provides a massive boost for the Eels. The Tigers have won their last three games against the Eels at this venue, which gives them a psychological edge.
Key Factors to Consider
The Wests Tigers have shown promising form with recent wins and strong individual performances such as Sunia Turuva's seven tries in the last five games. Meanwhile, the Eels have been inconsistent, marked by a significant loss recently, but the return of experienced players like Moses and Williams could improve their performance.
Wests Tigers have won their last three encounters against Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium. The Eels have only managed two wins in their last eight matches at this venue, indicating a historical advantage for the Tigers at home.
Wests Tigers made some lineup changes with Lachlan Galvin dropped and the return of Brent Naden from a knee injury. Parramatta Eels have significant returning players: Mitchell Moses, Jack Williams, and Kelma Tuilagi are back in the squad, while some key Eels players like Joe Ofahengaue and Shaun Lane are out.
The match will be played at CommBank Stadium, Sydney, giving Wests Tigers home ground advantage. Match officials include referee Liam Kennedy. The weather and pitch conditions are expected to be standard with no notable external disruptions reported.
The Tigers are motivated to consolidate their position by building on recent wins, while the Eels are desperate to recover from poor form and a heavy recent loss. The return of captain Moses is expected to lift Parramatta’s morale and fighting spirit.

Predicted Outcome
Based on current form, home advantage, player availability and historical outcomes, Wests Tigers are favored to win this encounter. However, the Eels could pose a challenge if their key players fire and team structure improves with recent inclusions.
The Colorado Rockies host the Washington Nationals in the final game of their series at Coors Field. Starting pitchers are RHP Antonio Senzatela (Rockies) with a 0-3 record and 5.89 ERA, and RHP Bradley Lord (Nationals) holding a 0-1 record and 4.82 ERA. Both teams have struggled offensively and on the mound this season, with the Rockies sitting 5th in the NL West and Nationals 4th in the NL East. The Rockies have a potent home advantage at Coors Field, known for a hitter-friendly environment, which may influence scoring.
Key Factors to Consider
Colorado Rockies have an overall team ERA of 5.50 and batting average of .272, slightly better than the Nationals who have a 5.36 ERA and .231 batting average. The Rockies have hit 13 home runs compared to the Nationals’ 23, but the Nationals have been less consistent on offense. Recent performance favors the Rockies slightly, but their starting pitching has been shaky.
This series has seen competitive games with the Rockies trying to leverage their home field advantage. The match on April 18 was postponed, leading to a doubleheader on April 20. Historically, these teams have been evenly matched with slight advantages to the Rockies at Coors Field.
No significant injuries reported impacting the starting lineups or pitching rotations for either team currently.
Weather conditions forecast at Coors Field are mild with temperatures around mid-50s to low 60s °F and minimal wind (2 mph SW), unlikely to affect pitching or hitting significantly.
Both teams are fighting for wins to move up from the bottom of their respective divisions, adding competitive motivation. The Rockies will aim to capitalize on home field while the Nationals seek to salvage the series on the road.
