The Bulldogs are reporting that the Raiders are in a precarious position, with just two points separating them from dropping out of the top eight in the rugby league ladder.
After a devastating 48-2 defeat to the Storm, the Raiders find themselves in sixth place and in danger of missing out on the finals.
In order to secure their spot, they must regroup and score heavily against the Bulldogs to improve their points differential.
On the other hand, the Bulldogs, despite coming off a bye, appeared out of form and lacking confidence in their recent match against the Knights.
They will need to dig deep and fend off the Raiders, who are fighting to save their season, in front of their passionate home crowd.
The Bulldogs have a tough schedule ahead, with games against the Sea Eagles and Titans, but they will aim to restore some pride and gain momentum for the next season.
In their previous encounter in Magic Round, the Raiders emerged victorious with a 34-30 win, and the Bulldogs have lost their last five meetings with them since 2019.
