Hull KR vs Hull FC Prediction
Hull KR’s crucial 12-8 victory over St. Helens last time out has put them on the edge of regular season glory, although Wigan Warriors are doing all they can to make them wait. Their win over the Saints on Friday night means that Hull KR cannot mathematically secure the League Leaders Shield here, but they can make it a near certainly with a vastly superior points difference compared to Wigan.
Hull FC though, will be out to play spoiler. Although they are sat in mid-table on the back of consecutive losses and were most recently ‘nilled’ by Leeds Rhinos, the Hull derby will fire them up and motivate their players to give everything over the course of 80 minutes. But Hull KR are a much-stronger team and have already gotten the better of Hull FC twice in all competitions so far this season. With home advantage in their favour, back Willie Peters’ side to complete the hat-trick.
