CATALANS DRAGONS FORM: DRAGONS SLIP UP
It was far from apparent that the Dragons had won their prior three matches as they served up a poor display on the road last week, going down to Castleford Tigers in what was a surprising defeat.
LAST FIVE: LWWWL
HULL FC FORM: AIRLIE BIRDS STUN WARRIORS
No one predicted that Hull FC would be capable of beating a Wigan Warriors side that have barely lost a game over the past year but a superb effort from the Black and Whites saw them claim a brilliant upset and they will aim to build on that success on this trip to Perpignan.
LAST FIVE: WLLLW

CATALANS DRAGONS VS HULL FC PREDICTION
Catalans Dragons can call upon an old face as they aim to get back to winning ways. Sam Tomkins is in line to make his second debut for the club after his shock announcement to come out of retirement last week. His inclusion could provide the Dragons with the boost they need and while Hull FC will be on a real high after stunning reigning champions Wigan Warriors last week, they are yet to win on the road this season so preference has to be with the hosts.
