The Eagles recruited former Bandits Darcy Harding and Joel Spear for their inaugural season in the SEABL.
A little bit of pride should be on the line, with the Eagles just one spot below the Bandits on the league ladder, with three wins.
The Bandits desperately need a win after a brutal run of home losses left them at risk of dripping out of the playoff picture before last weekend’s bye.
Their task on Sunday afternoon will be far tougher, when they come up against fifth-placed Dandenong.
Boasting an 8-4 record, the Rangers are just one game back from top spot thanks to a logjam among the league’s best teams.
Head coach Brad Chalmers will be hoping for improved outings from Deba George and Lamar Mallory to help lift his side to a much-needed victory.
