St. Helens vs Catalans Dragons prediction

Less than two months after thrashing Catalans Dragons 4-36 in Perpignan, St. Helens look to beat Joel Tomkins’ side again, this time in the Challenge Cup and this time with the Saints being at home. They are coming off the back of a memorable comeback against Wigan Warriors on Good Friday, which saw them stun Matt Peet’s men in the final ten minutes with an incredible rally to win 34-24.

One of St. Helens’ try scorers last Friday was Jackson Hastings, one of those who played a pivotal role in inspiring their rally. The former Salford Red Devils star will likely be a key figure again for the Saints against a Catalans Dragons side, who were beaten in their most recent away fixture vs Hull FC in Super League.
