With just nine games remaining for each team, every single competition point is vital for the eighth‑placed Eels and 13th‑placed Bulldogs.
Two wins separate these two western Sydney rivals on the ladder; a win to the Eels would be a huge step towards confirming their first finals berth in eight years.
A win to the Bulldogs would not only be a vital step towards keeping their stuttering season afloat but would also deny two competiton points to the team they most need to leapfrog to scrape into the finals.
The Eels will take on the Bulldogs at 9.50 tonight.
