The Raiders, boasting a strong 6-1 record at GIO Stadium in 2025, aim to impress their fans against the Eels this Saturday.
The match, set for a 3:00 PM kick-off, is expected to favor Ricky Stuart's team, allowing their dynamic playing style to thrive in the afternoon sun rather than in the colder, slippery night conditions.
Meanwhile, the Eels, coached by Jason Ryles, have shown moments of brilliance throughout the season but struggle to compete with the league's top teams, especially without their star player, Mitch Moses, who is sidelined due to injury.
To have a chance at an upset, the Eels would need to replicate their strong first-half performance against the Panthers last weekend, maintaining that level of play for the entire 80 minutes.
