The 2025 NRL season's Round 24 clash on Friday night will see the Sydney Roosters host the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Allianz Stadium in Sydney.
The Roosters have a 10-10 record this season and have moved to ninth place after recent wins over the Sea Eagles and the Dolphins. As a consistent team, they're pushing for the finals once again, having done so in 11 of the last 12 seasons.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are already in the top 4, sitting third on the ladder with a 15-5 record and four wins in their last five matches. When the two sides last met earlier in the season, Cameron Ciraldo's men overcame a 14-0 deficit at half-time to complete a 24-20 comeback against Sydney.
And the trend is on their side: Roosters have a 1-4 record against top 4 oppositions this season, and they have only won two of eight matches at the Allianz Stadium. Bulldogs have an excellent opportunity to do a double over the Roosters for the first time since 2016.
