THE PREDICTION

West Yorkshire rivals Leeds and Huddersfield meet in what promises to be yet another close and hard-fought game between the two sides. The last three matches have all been decided by a solitary point with the Rhinos winning two of those games. There is every chance that this game is just as tight though ultimately it is the hosts who have to be favoured. Leeds are pushing hard to claim the final play-off spot although in fairness to Huddersfield, they have been fighting hard winning three of their last four despite no real chance of making the top six. They will be fired up to test their neighbours and while they may not take the points, expect them to keep it close and within the right-point handicap.
