Huddersfield Giants vs Leeds Rhinos Prediction

Huddersfield Giants have lost 18 of their 24 games this season in Super League, including most recently being thrashed 48-2 by Wakefield Trinity. Leeds Rhinos meanwhile, have won 17 of 24 and are fighting to finish in second-place. They could mathematically still win the league leaders shield, but the point-difference swing required renders that extremely unlikely.

However, expect the Rhinos to do themselves some good by not just winning this game, but winning it convincingly. They are a significantly stronger team than their Yorkshire rivals and should prove way too good for Huddersfield over the course of 80 minutes here.
