Leigh Leopards vs Castleford Tigers Prediction

Leigh Leopards will be looking to take advantage of an awful run of form that Castleford Tigers are currently going through. The visitors sit in 10th-place currently and have won just five of their 23 Super League games over the course of this season so far. As for Leigh, only three points currently separates them from Adrian Lam’s old side, second-placed Wigan Warriors.

Of the two teams, Leigh are certainly the stronger side and will be better for the return of those players rested last week. At home, they should really dominate proceedings against the struggling Tigers, whose confidence must be down in the dumps as they struggle to keep their opponents at bay. Expect Leigh Leopards to comprehensively triumph here.
