There's plenty at stake for both the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals when the pair of them pick up their long-running rivalry once more in a Week 10 encounter.
While one boasts a winning record and another looks to tie their scores for the term, there's still much in flux for the 2024 NFL season, available with NFL Gamepass on DAZN.
With a 6-3 record this year, the Ravens are in the process of mounting a promising play-off push, while at 4-5, the Bengals are on the outside looking in on the race.
With only one spot assured in the AFC North division, currently led by the Pittsburgh Steelers, both teams will be keen to take a chunk out of the other.
That may go double for Cincinnati too, who were pipped in a thrilling 41-38 overtime encounter when they met Baltimore just over a month ago in early October.
But just how do these two teams stack up against each other, and what does their current form tell us about this matchup?
Here's everything you need to know about the head-to-head record between the Ravens and the Bengals.

Ravens vs. Bengals historical form guide
A common-place matchup in NFL history, the spoils have mostly been shared between the Ravens and the Bengals, who have been firm rivals since the 2002 NFL realignment.
That placed the two in the same AFC North division, and with it, ensured double encounters every term, heading on from their first meeting way back in 1996.
On that debut occasion, the Bengals nabbed a three-point victory in a 24-21 encounter, while they also won a 2003 clash under ex-Ravens defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis.
Since then however, the Ravens have slightly stretched into the lead when it comes to their rivalry, with 31 wins from 58 overall encounters, including earlier this year.
Lamar Jackson led five different scoring drives to peg Cincinnati back multiple times and secure a crucial victory for Baltimore that has helped build their success this term.
The two teams have met just once in the psotseason, in 2022, when Bengals man Sam Hubbard scored a legendary 98-yard fumble return in the fourth quarter for a 24-17 win.
Cincinnati would go all the way to the AFC Championship Game, losing a 23-20 thriller against the Kansas City Chiefs to miss out on Super Bowl LVII.

This term however, the Ravens are the side that look the more likely to make the postseason among the two - though with enough weeks left for the tide to turn, it is a close thing.
With Pittsburgh atop the AFC North division, the wild card route may prove the ultimate route for either team into the playoff picture, but they will need to string good form together.
Three straight losses to open the campaign may be what comes back to haunt the Bengals, as they lost to New England, Kansas City and Washington in succcession.
Since then, four wins in their last six has helped bolster their potential - and had they got over the lane against the Ravens previously, Cincinnati would have a winning record.
Still, a defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago by double-digits was a less-than-convincing turn of events, and they'll need to bulk up their defensive flaws.
At 13-4 last term, the Ravens meanwhile romped to the divisional title last term, but it will take a remarkable run from here to repeat the feat and take the top spot.
Still, bar one loss to Cleveland, they have not been downed since the first two weeks, racking up big wins over the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos among others.
