The Sea Eagles will face the Raiders in Round 3 of the Telstra NRL Premiership at 4 Pines Park.
The Sea Eagles had a tough game in Auckland due to numerous errors and set restarts, while the Raiders enjoyed a win over the Broncos and Warriors in their previous matches.
The key match up in the forwards will be between props Taniela Paseka and Josh Papali'i, who have been impressive in their run-metres so far this season.
Despite winning seven of their last 10 games against Canberra, the Raiders were one of the few teams to defeat Manly at 4 Pines Park last season.
In terms of team news, the Sea Eagles will welcome back prop Siua Taukei'aho and centre Tolu Koula into the lineup, while Clayton Faulalo and Toafofoa Sipley have dropped out.
Manly will look to improve their performance and secure a win against the Raiders to continue their strong start to the season.
The Sea Eagles will need to minimize errors and control the game better in order to come out on top against a tough Canberra side.
The match promises to be a thrilling encounter with both teams eager to secure a victory on Sunday.
