Canterbury and Parramatta go head-to-head in a high-pressure match on Monday given both sides sit outside the top eight and are desperate to stay within reach of playing in the finals in 2023.
The Bulldogs were unlucky in a one-point defeat to the Roosters on the Central Coast while the Eels are coming off a bye and will want to use the freshen up a chance to kick-start their momentum created in Round 13.
Both sides enjoyed a win against each other in 2022 by healthy margins with the Bulldogs thumping Parramatta 34-4 before the Eels returned serve with a 42-6 result in August last year.
With a hamstring injury ruling Nathan Cleary out of Origin II the likes of Matt Burton and Mitchell Moses could come into calculations for a state recall with strong performances on Monday.
Team news
Bulldogs: Reed Mahoney (head knock) failed an assessment but will be monitored in the lead-up to Monday's clash and is likely to be named. Jacob Kiraz could also be back after hyperextending his elbow at training last week. Braidon Burns and Luke Thompson are another week away.
Stat Attack
Maika Sivo leads the NRL in tryscoring with 15 from 13 matches. The Eels powerhouse has now scored 45 tries in his past 50 games.
The Bulldogs have conceded more penalties (94) than any other team in 2023. The Cowboys are the second worst offenders with 85.
The Bulldogs have won only three of their past 15 games against the Eels
The Eels only have won eight of their past 10 clashes against the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium.
Bulldogs winger Josh Addo-Carr has scored 21 tries in 18 games at Accor Stadium.
Eels coach Brad Arthur will surpass Brian Smith’s record of 243 games at the helm of the club.
The Bulldogs have won their past three games played on the June long weekend
