Huddersfield Giants vs St. Helens prediction
It can’t be underestimated how disappointing it would’ve been for St. Helens to lose a cup semi-final in the matter they did last weekend. Paul Rowley’s men just did not turn up against fierce rivals Wigan Warriors and paid a heavy price. Getting nilled will have proven humiliating for all involved and having had the stew on that result since Saturday, you can bet the Saints will be fired up heading into this one and desperate to make amends.
Huddersfield Giants have lost each of their last three whilst conceding a mammoth 120 points, that’s an average of 40 points per fixture. Not a good sign ahead of facing a reeling St. Helens. Expect a hungry performance from this Saints pack and for them to maintain a high tempo throughout. It would be a big surprise if the visitors didn’t emerge victorious.
