Leigh Leopards vs Hull FC Prediction
These two teams played out a thrilling 22-22 draw back in early March and meet again in what should be another cracking encounter. Leigh Leopards come into the game on the back of consecutive defeats across both league and cup, whilst Hull FC have lost their last four, with confidence no doubt extremely low within John Cartwright’s squad.
If feels like Leigh’s recent downturn is just a temporary blip, especially when considering the players at Adrian Lam’s disposal, not to mention their home record across the entire season, winning five games from six at Leigh Sports Village across all competitions. Back them to make it six from seven here.
