The Betfred Championship hits Round 20, with nine games taking place across two days.
Widnes Vikings and Barrow get the round underway on Saturday evening, as fifth faces fourth in the table.
A victory of the Vikings would see them swap with the Raiders in the table, however, they would have to avenge the Round 9 defeat they suffered in Cumbria.
Lewis Hall featured off the bench last week, which put him on 199 career appearances, 26 of which have come for the Vikings.
Sunday’s action starts in the Midlands, as the Hurricanes welcome Rochdale at 1PM.
The sides fought a close contest when they met in Round 7, with Midlands edging that occasion.
Three of the four most recent meetings have been decided by six points or fewer, so another close game is expected.
Halifax Panthers will be looking to keep their impressive record against Dewsbury Rams going when they face-off. The Panthers have won eight and drawn once in their last nine visits to Dewsbury, the Rams’ last home victory against Halifax was in May 2014.
The two sides have both won seven games this season, but due to the points deduction, Halifax occupy 19th spot, meanwhile Dewsbury are in the final play-off spot.
Sheffield are a side hitting form at the right time of the season, the Eagles come into their match with Workington off the back of three successive victories.
The visitors know they need a win to keep their play-off hopes alive, however, they would have to snap their run of five defeats in a row to Sheffield.
Fellow Cumbrian side, Whitehaven, will welcome Scott Taylor’s Goole Vikings also on Sunday.
The contest will be the fourth meeting between the two clubs, with it currently split at two victories each. The Vikings took the most recent meeting in the 1895 Cup, however, Town left the Victoria Pleasure Ground the happier side when they met in Round 10 of the Championship.
Hunslet will be looking to bounce back, since their win against Salford in Round 16, the West Yorkshire side have suffered three crushing defeats to Widnes, Workington and London.
Oldham know a victory keeps up the pressure on the two sides above them, as they sit level with Newcastle and four points behind London at the Championship summit.
The last six matches have produced decisive wins for Oldham, the smallest margin being 24 points in 2024.
Salford are another side pushing for a play-off space, however, they face the undefeated London Broncos, which makes it a tough ask.
The free scoring Broncos have registered nearly 1100 points in just 18 games, with three of the top four try scorers all representing the capital club. Morea Morea leads the way with 25 tries, meanwhile teammates Neil Tchamambe and Gairo Voro sit joint second with 20 tries.
Doncaster suffered defeat last week to London and will be looking for a response against the Swinton Lions.
The Dons put on an attacking display when they faced the Lions in Round 8. The 74-6 victory asserted Doncaster into being serious contenders this season. The currently sit sixth, however, they do have games in hand on sides around them.
The round is concluded with North Wales facing Newcastle Thunder
