Hull FC vs Hull KR prediction
It’s been a while since either of these two sides tasted victory in Super League. Hull FC have lost each of their last five games, whilst Hull KR are coming off the back of consecutive defeats, so each will see this derby as the ideal opportunity for a fresh start as we hurtle into the business end of the Super League season.
This fixture has proven a world of pain for Hull FC over the past few years. Each of the last seven Super League encounters between these two fierce rivals has been won by Hull KR and Willie Peters’ side have already defeated Hull FC twice this season, at Craven Park and on Magic Weekend in Liverpool. Therefore, expect Hull KR to complete the hat-trick.
