The unbeaten Bulldogs are looking to continue their winning streak as they face off against the Knights at Accor Stadium on Sunday evening.

The Bulldogs had a dominant performance against the Knights in Round 7 of the previous season, with fullback Connor Tracey and centre Bronson Xerri making significant impacts on the game.

On the other hand, the Knights are coming off a 20-point loss to the Titans and will be looking to bounce back after a bye week.

Despite their recent struggles, the Knights have shown promise with back-to-back wins earlier in the season.

The matchup between the attacking prowess of Stephen Crichton and Tracey against Kalyn Ponga and Bradman Best is expected to be an exciting showdown to close out Round 5 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.

"The Bulldogs won seven of 11 at Accor in 2024 including a 36-12 drubbing of the Knights in Round 7 when fullback Connor Tracey racked up 175 metres and two try assists while centre Bronson Xerri ran for 148 metres.

Coming off a 20-point loss to the Titans and then a bye, the Knights will be out to regain the form that carried them to back-to-back wins over the Dolphins and Wests Tigers to open their campaign.

With the attacking brilliance of Stephen Crichton and Tracey up against Kalyn Ponga and Bradman Best it promises to be an enthralling contest to bring down the curtain on Round 5 of the NRL Telstra Premiership."

Overall, the upcoming match between the Bulldogs and the Knights is expected to be a thrilling contest, with both teams showcasing their strengths and looking to secure a crucial victory in Round 5.

The Bulldogs will be aiming to maintain their unbeaten record, while the Knights are eager to bounce back from recent losses and demonstrate the form that propelled them to success earlier in the season.

The clash between the talented attacking players on both teams is set to deliver an exciting finale to the weekend's NRL action.
