Catalans Dragons vs Hull KR prediction
Catalans Dragons have had an inconsistent start to the campaign so far and it remains to be seen what Dragons team turn up for this next contest. They’ll need to be at their best because Super League champions and World Club Challenge winners Hull KR are starting to flex their muscles after what had been an abysmal beginning to the season.
Their recent pair of victories over Huddersfield Giants was the Hull KR we’ve become accustomed to seeing over the past year or so. Catalans are a far tougher opponent, especially in Perpignan but have proven vulnerable against strong opposition such as St. Helens or Bradford Bulls. If Hull KR can maintain their most recent performance levels, then they should do enough to claim victory.
