Hull KR vs Catalans Dragons prediction
The Super League champions are just about starting to go through the gears following three straight victories and a total of 118 points accumulated across those games, including back-to-back matches with 40 points or more scored. Willie Peters’ men are notorious for being a devastating attacking force when in full flow and as they jostle for position in the table, Hull KR are catching up quickly to the top three.
Catalans Dragons are in eighth-place but with a ten-point gap between themselves and Leigh Leopards in sixth-place, they really need to win this game. That’s a tall order when you consider their recent poor form and defensive struggles. Shipping 42 points to rock bottom Huddersfield Giants last time out was damning and when you take into account what we saw from them then, Hull KR could rack up a mammoth number of points in this one, so expect a big win for the hosts.
