Hull KR vs Warrington Wolves (Thu, 2000 GMT)
The latest round of Super League fixtures kicks off with a bang as Hull KR host Warrington at Craven Park.
Both these teams have enjoyed a strong start to the season, winning two of their three games.
Rovers suffered their first loss last weekend, going down 17-10 at Salford. Wolves, on the other hand, picked up a comfortable 30-8 win over Castleford.
With a close game in prospect, we’re backing the match to be won by a 1-12 points margin.
TIP: Winning margin 1-12 points
Castleford Tigers vs Huddersfield Giants (Fri, 2000 GMT)
Castleford Tigers will be looking to avoid a fourth straight defeat when they welcome Huddersfield Giants to the Mend-A-Hose Jungle.
Craig Lingard’s men showed plenty of promise in their defeats to Wigan and Salford, though some of that sentiment dissipated after a 30-8 loss at Warrington.
Huddersfield come into this game on the back of successive defeats, though it must be noted that both losses came against title contenders in Wigan and St Helens.
With that in mind, we’re backing the Giants to come out on top away at the Jungle.
TIP: Huddersfield Giants to win
Leigh Leopards vs Leeds Rhinos (Fri, 2000 GMT)
Leigh Leopards are still waiting for their first win of the season after kicking off their campaign with defeats to Huddersfield and St Helens.
This weekend, Adrian Lam’s men host an unpredictable Leeds Rhinos outfit.
Leeds suffered a 22-12 loss at Hull KR a fortnight ago, though they quickly recovered to beat last season’s Grand Finalists Catalans Dragons on Saturday.
Backing the 1-12 points winning margin is the way to go in what promises to be a close clash at the Leigh Sports Village.
TIP: Winning margin 1-12 points
St Helens vs Salford (Fri, 2000 GMT)
As long as St Helens avoid a major injury crisis, it’s hard to envisage too many teams beating them this season.
The current league leaders are three from three, conceding just eight points from 240 minutes of Super League rugby.
Salford have made a strong start to the season, but overcoming the quality at St Helens would take something special.
With that in mind, we’re backing the hosts to turn on the style and deliver in the handicap market.
London Broncos vs Wigan Warriors (Sat, 1500 GMT)
London Broncos came within two minutes of picking up their first Super League victory this season as they fell to a last-gasp 28-24 loss at Hull FC.
Whatever the Broncos lack in quality, they certainly make up for with heart and determination.
That, unfortunately, won’t be enough when Wigan Warriors arrive at the capital.
The world champions are playing on a different level at the moment, and they are expected to enjoy a comfortable victory.
TIP: Wigan Warriors -22 handicap
Catalans Dragons vs Hull FC (Sat, 1730 GMT)
Hull FC needed a last-minute try to see off London Broncos last weekend – on paper the weakest side in the competition.
Catalans Dragons will relish the visit of their rivals as they look to bag a fourth straight victory over FC.
We’re backing the French side to shake off last weekend’s defeat to Leeds and return to winning ways.
TIP: Double result Catalans Dragons – Catalans Dragons
