The local rivals are level on 11 points in the National Premier League at the half-way stage of the season but are in danger of losing touch with the top five.
Bonnyrigg are fifth on 17 points but have a game in hand on both the Suns and the Sharks.
Rockdale travel to Lambert Park to play second-placed APIA Leichhardt on Sunday afternoon while Sutherland face Blacktown Spartans on Saturday night.
The Sharks were denied a point last time out via a late Danny Choi strike for Blacktown City. The loss increased Sutherland's winless streak to four matches in all competitions.
Rockdale will look to build on their impressive 3-0 win over Bonnyrigg as they continue to improve under player-coach Paul Reid.
