Bradford Bulls vs Leigh Leopards prediction
Bradford Bulls really need to make use of home advantage here, with a win taking them to within two points of opponents Leigh Leopards, who are desperate to close the gap between themselves and the top six. Having won their last two home fixtures, Bradford have every reason to be confident of success at Odsal.
However, Leigh Leopards under Adrian Lam, are coming off the back of consecutive victories and a whopping 66 points scored with just 20 conceded. If Leigh defend as well as we saw in those last two games, they’ve got every chance of securing what would be a huge victory on the road and backing them would be a shrewd move.
