HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS FORM: GIANTS SUFFER FOURTH STRAIGHT LOSS
It was a much better showing from the Giants but they suffered another defeat with Leigh Leopards getting the better of them. Andre Savelio’s red card did not help their cause and that is now just one win in 10 games across the board.
LAST FIVE: WLLLL
SALFORD RED DEVILS FORM: FIRST LOSS IN FIVE FOR SALFORD
Having won all of their prior four matches, Salford were disappointing on the road against Catalans Dragons. They were on the end of a 20-0 defeat and will be aiming to right the wrongs of that display in this one.

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS VS SALFORD RED DEVILS PREDICTION
Huddersfield Giants seemingly only have pride at stake this season and will want to rebuild ahead of appointing a new head coach. They face a Salford Red Devils outfit that should be good enough to secure a top six spot but were really poor last week. However, they can bounce back from that to make it five wins from their last six outings and leave the Giants with just one success in 11.
