York Knights vs Catalans Dragons prediction
The John Cartwright era gets underway with a trip to York Knights, who are inside the bottom three as it stands, four points adrift of the Dragons. But it’s been a rotten recent run for Catalans Dragons, who’ve lost their last three games and have been pummelled by opposition offenses, giving up a whopping 137 runs across that period.
Cartwright is a good enough coach to trigger automatic change and you’d expect an upturn defensively from the Dragons. York have lost their last two games and lack of confidence could be an issue for them. We often see a bounce from teams with a new coach and it’s well worth considering backing the visitors to grab a narrow victory.
