THE PREDICTION
Hull FC come into this clash with their city rivals having lost their last four matches so they desperately need to reverse this miserable run of form. Hull KR on the other hand are in good shape having won their last two matches and they sit comfortably in the top six positions. Nothing would give FC more fuel than to beat KR and upset their hopes of a top six finish so it is a boost that they can welcome back six players here including Marc Sneyd who missed the loss to Catalans last time out. KR have included Shaun Kenny-Dowall in their 21-man squad but this game could come too soon for him. The two teams have yet to meet this season and while FC did the double over their city rivals last season, they may struggle here and KR are marginally favoured with +6 start.
