In the upcoming NRL match, the Canberra Raiders will face off against the Dragons this Saturday at GIO Stadium.
Following a hard-fought 22-18 victory against the Newcastle Knights, the Raiders have surged to the top of the competition ladder, marking their sixth consecutive win.
They aim to solidify their position as league leaders against a challenging opponent.
The Dragons, coming off a notable 34-20 victory over the Eels, seek to build momentum and break into the top eight.
However, both teams have been affected by player call-ups to the Origin camp, necessitating some lineup adjustments.
Additionally, the Dragons have been dealing with injuries sustained in their recent match.
Historically, the Raiders have had an edge in their previous encounter, having narrowly defeated the Dragons 26-24 at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Sydney during round 27, 2024.
This match promises to be competitive as both teams strive for vital points.
