Catalans Dragons vs Castleford Tigers Prediction

It’s been a poor Super League campaign for both Catalans Dragons and Castleford Tigers with the pair having accumulated just 22 points between them. The visitors have lost their last three games, conceding a whopping 140 points over the course of those matches, whilst Catalans Dragons are currently in the midst of a six-game losing streak.

If Joel Tomkins’ side are going to ever get back to winning ways this season, Castleford Tigers represents the sort of opposition that they really need to get the better of. When taking into account how many points the Tigers have been leaking of late, the Dragons on their home turf simply must capitalise. Consider backing them to do just that and finally get themselves in the win column again.
