Parramatta Eels (4-8) will look to maintain their upper hand over the Canterbury Bulldogs (6-6) in recent years when they make the trip to Accor Stadium on Monday.
The Eels enter this match as the favourites despite being away from home, largely down to winning eight of the last nine meetings between the two sides. The visitors snapped a five-game losing streak in a devastating fashion against the top-two Cronulla Sharks in a high-scoring clash to secure just their fourth win of the campaign.
Canterbury, meanwhile, managed to secure a second straight win as they overcame Newcastle Knights in stunning fashion last week. Despite missing their Origin players, they held the Knights to a single penalty goal in the 2-32 victory. The Bulldogs currently sit one spot outside the top eight.

Parramatta Eels
The return of skipper Clint Gutherson and halfback Mitchell Moses was critical for the Eels in their 34-22 win over the Sharks on Thursday night.
Parramatta were on an extended break heading into Monday's contest and will hope to keep the momentum going at Accor Stadium. Blaize Talagi replaces Bailey Simonsson (knee) at the back, with the rookie named at centre and Sean Russell shifting over to the wing.
The extended turnaround following the Origin series opener will mean J'maine Hopgood has been named to start at this stage. Ryan Matterson has been picked in the wider reserves as he continues to works his way back to match sharpness from an illness bout.
