Bradford Bulls vs Hull FC prediction

These two clubs are all set to do battle for the second time this season. Hull FC were victorious at the MKM Stadium back in February, winning 27-20 in the end. Bradford Bulls have since struggled to put together positive results and come into this match on the back of having lost their last five. But Hull FC are without some key personnel and that cannot be underestimated.

If the Bulls are to get the better of Hull FC, now would be the best time to face them. Bell’s injury is a massive loss for the visitors and could well see them not prove as potent going forward. Combine that with home advantage being in Bradford’s favour and backing the Bulls could prove a really shrewd play.
