Wests Tigers will be seeking revenge on the Canberra Raiders as they head to the nation's capital on Sunday.

Unfortunately, they will be without Stefano Utoikamanu and Shawn Blore, who are recovering from concussions sustained in the previous game.

As a result, Alex Twal, a beloved player among fans, has been promoted to the starting lineup, while Justin Matamua will make his first appearance since Round 5 from the interchange bench.

On the other hand, the Raiders have made changes to their backline following a convincing loss to the Newcastle Knights.

Jordan Rapana will now take on the fullback role, and Sebastian Kris will play in the centres.

Over the years, Wests Tigers have had a mix of success in Canberra.

They won five consecutive matches at GIO Stadium in the early 2010s but have fallen short in their last two visits.

In terms of the head-to-head statistics, the Canberra Raiders are favored with odds of $1.26, while Wests Tigers are the underdogs with odds of $3.85.
