Castleford Tigers vs Catalans Dragons prediction
Neither of these two teams will be playing playoff football come the end of the regular season, which means there is little at stake but pride between Castleford Tigers and Catalans Dragons. The Tigers will want to put on a good performance and gain a win for their home fans, whilst Catalans would no doubt love to make a statement out on the road.
Little pressure should lead to more entertainment and less emphasis on defence. Both sides should deploy very attacking playstyles, which in turn should lead to plenty of scoring opportunities. With that in mind, it’s well worth backing lots of points to be scored, specifically over 44.5 of them.
Castleford Tigers vs Catalans Dragons tip: Over 44.5 total points
