THE PREDICTION
St. Helens will look to end a 13-year wait for Challenge Cup glory as
they take on a Castleford Tigers side that have not lifted the trophy
since 1986. Saints have had no trouble in winning the Super League title
during that period but they have struggled to in the Cup with their
18-4 loss to Warrington Wolves in the 2019 final the closest they have
come to ending that run without winning the Wembley showpiece. Cas come
into this with a lack of quality preparation owing to injuries and
COVID-19 issues with them playing just four times since their semi-final
success over Warrington. Three of those ended in defeat and with Saints
losing just two games all season, this looks like it might finally be
the year that they are able to claim Challenge Cup success.
