Leeds Rhinos vs Huddersfield Giants prediction

Leeds Rhinos dropped an egg at the Brick Community Stadium as they were thoroughly outplayed in all departments by Wigan Warriors, losing 24-4. The much-vaunted offense of the Rhinos were shut down in that one, but you’d expect them to come roaring back here at home and against a Huddersfield Giants side whom they’ve already put 56 points past last month.

The Giants have a new head coach in Jim Lenihan but it will no doubt take time for him to implement his ideas on the squad, who’ve struggled through the majority of the campaign so far, losing nine of 11 games to leave them rock bottom of the Super League table. With that in mind, it’s well worth backing a comfortably victory for Leeds on their own patch.
