THE PREDICTION
This top of the table clash should be a thriller with St. Helens and
Catalans Dragons set to do battle in what appears to be the game of
Magic Weekend. Saints got the better of the French outfit in their
previous clash, although the Dragons were under-strength that day and
they will be out for revenge in this one. That was one of just two Super
League losses for the table topping Catalans and they will be eager to
avoid a third defeat here. Saints come into this on the back of a superb
performance to see off Warrington Wolves earlier in the week and that
sets them up nicely for this. Catalans had a much easier time of things
as they hammered Leigh Centurions 64-0 with both teams in the midst of
three-match winning runs but something has to give here and with a
benefit of a +6.5 start, the Dragons make the most appeal here.
