Catalans Dragons vs Castleford Tigers prediction

It’s been a poor recent run of results for Catalans Dragons and they need to get back on track here in what is a very winnable home fixture. The Dragons have taken maximum points from just one of their last five Super League games but are facing a Castleford Tigers side on the back of a home defeat to Leigh Leopards and two points below the Dragons in the table. 

Castleford are an inconsistent side and when on it, there’s no doubt they could take down the Dragons. But just when you seem to write off the Dragons, they have a habit of pulling a good result out of the bag to draw you back in. This feels like it could be one of those games in Perpignan. Expect a close one, but backing Catalans at least warrants consideration.
