The Bulldogs are coming into the match with two consecutive wins under their belt, including a dominant performance against the Titans.
They will be looking to continue their winning streak and put up another big score at CommBank Stadium.
On the other hand, the Eels are still seeking their first victory of the season and will be focusing on improving their defense after conceding 88 points in their first two games.
Despite the Eels' struggles, the rivalry between the two teams ensures that this match will be a highly competitive one.
Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, they will be missing two key players, Matt Burton and Viliame Kikau, due to MCL injuries.
This will be a blow to their lineup, but they will have to find a way to adapt and continue their winning form without them.
On the other side, the Eels will still be without their captain and halfback Mitchell Moses, leaving Dylan Brown to lead the attack in his absence.
Brown did not perform up to his usual standards in the previous game but is determined to find his best form, especially in what could be his final season with the team.
The absence of key players on both sides adds another layer of uncertainty to this already highly anticipated match.
With the Bulldogs riding high on their winning streak and the Eels desperate for their first win, the stage is set for an intense battle between these fierce rivals.
The rivalry between these two teams is one of the biggest in Rugby League, and fans can expect nothing less than a thrilling and closely contested game when they face off at CommBank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
