Leigh Leopards vs Hull KR prediction
Hull KR are proving to be a runaway train right now with nobody looking like stopping them. Whilst Leigh Leopards do boast home advantage, they’ve got their work cut against an opposition with such a formidable offense which has blown past anyone in their wake over the past several weeks. On the back of booking their place in the Challenge Cup final, Willie Peters’ side now look to take down the Leythers.
Expect another commanding showing from Hull KR as they look to stamp their authority on this encounter early on. It shouldn’t take long for their attack to penetrate through the Leigh backline and when Hull KR get on a roll, watch out! Expect another two points for the visitors and a fairly routine victory.
