Hull FC vs Leigh Leopards prediction
Hull FC and Leigh Leopards are going through very different phases right now with the former struggling and the latter currently scorching hot. Whilst the hosts have lost each of their last four Super League games including a narrow defeat to York Knights last time out, Leigh Leopards are coming off the back of three consecutive wins with Adrian Lam getting the very best out of his threadbare squad.
Leigh may be away from home here but they are playing in a far superior manner compared to Hull FC right now. Their key players are all performing well and despite the lack of numbers, the group is well-bonded and excellently coached. With confidence high, backing them on the road appears a shrewd play.
