Bradford Bulls vs Castleford Tigers prediction
Having seen their losing streak extended at the hands of Toulouse last Saturday, Bradford Bulls are running out of chances to put a win on the board before the end of the regular season. In what is their final home fixture of the campaign, this feels like Bradford’s best chance against a Castleford Tigers side with nothing to play for and five losses in their last six.
The quality of play is unlikely to be high but both teams should be given more license to attack without pressure by their respective head coaches. It should be a high-scoring, close game capable of going either way, but Bradford Bulls being at home should be very narrowly favoured.
