Leeds Rhinos vs Bradford Bulls prediction
The undoubted form team in the league, the Leeds Rhinos, meet old rivals Bradford Bulls in what should be a passionate affair, but could very well be a mismatch in terms of quality.
Brad Arthur’s Rhinos are rampant at the moment having won 10 of their last 11 and the tries are flowing. Maika Sivo continues to smash all kinds of records and on the slightly larger pitch at Everton Football Club, that is only likely to benefit him further.
Sivo can break the try-scoring record in this match for scoring in successive matches and there is a clear determination among the entire squad to help the Fijian achieve that.
He surely will here against a Bradford side struggling for form. They have lost their last three matches and conceded 34 points or more in each of those matches. Against the most potent team in the league, that does not bode well.
Expect the Rhinos to continue their hot form and rack up plenty of points at the Hill Dickinson.
Leeds Rhinos vs Bradford Bulls tip: Leeds Rhinos to win -25.5 points
