Leeds Rhinos vs Catalans Dragons prediction
Leeds Rhinos looked back to their best from an attacking perspective in their demolition job of Huddersfield Giants which saw them accumulate 56 points in what was a third straight win for the Super League leaders. Maika Sivo registered his 13th Super League try of the season, three more than any other player heading into this latest round of fixtures.
Catalans Dragons may be coming off the back of an extremely impressive 38-22 win over Warrington Wolves. But their results show that they are a significantly weaker team on the road compared to when in Perpignan. They were heavily beaten away to St. Helens in the Challenge Cup recently and Sivo should be afforded more offensively joy against this Dragons backline, so back him to take advantage.
Leeds Rhinos vs Catalans Dragons tip: Maika Sivo to score a try anytime
