Hull KR vs York Knights prediction

Hull KR come into this Challenge Cup quarter-final as overwhelming favourites when taking into account their recent form. Willie Peters’ side have won consecutive home Super League games leading into this fixture, racking up 76 points in the process. Bragging rights began to them on Good Friday as they defeated inter-city rivals Hull FC 24-6.

York Knights stunned Hull KR on the opening night of this year’s Super League campaign, triumphing 19-18 at home in a thriller. However, winning at Craven Park against a much-improved and better-performing Hull KR will prove a completely different and far tougher assignment. The reality is that Hull KR are a far superior outfit that are likely to dominate in a similar way to what we saw from them against St. Helens and Hull FC. Therefore, expect a commanding victory for the hosts by a significant margin.
