Friday's Betfred Super League predictions

There's a feast of Betfred Super League action to tuck into on Friday with all three matches available to watch live for the first time this season.

Armchair fans won't miss a second of the action in 2024 and Leeds Rhinos are fancied to start with a victory.

The Rhinos were Grand Finalists in 2022 but they followed it up with miserable 2023 campaign that saw them miss out on the playoffs.

As is often the case, the Headingley hierarchy have splashed the cash in a bid to right the wrongs, picking up Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers from Salford Red Devils, the Rhinos' opening opponents of the season, to add some extra spice to Friday's fixture.

The corresponding match last season went the way of Salford in a 22-12 win but Leeds have generally had the better of it, winning four of the last five meetings on home soil.

Salford also missed out on the top six following a miserable end to the season that saw them lose three of their final four matches.

They are 16-5 to start the new season in style but a home win by no more than 12 points looks a better bet. It will take a few rounds to get up to top speed and the last two meetings have been settled by two and ten points.

That bet also looks the best bet way to go for Huddersfield's trip to Leigh. The Giants came up way short last season with a ninth-place finish and they have had a huge clearout at the John Smith's Stadium to breathe new life into their squad.

However, they have plenty of ground to make up and the Leopards made fantastic return to the top flight with a fifth-placed finish.

Leigh won last season's meetings by an aggregate of 64-20 but a more modest margin of victory should be expected the Leigh Sports Village.

That may not be the case at St Helens. Saints start a season in the unusual position of not being defending champions for the first time in four seasons but they should have no trouble getting their title challenge off to a flying start.

The Red Vee host league new boys London Broncos, and it could be a punishing occasion for the men from the capital, who shocked the Championship last season.

The Broncos, back in the big time for the first time since 2019, won the Grand Final against all the odds following a fifth-place finish in the second tier.

They are short-priced favourites to go straight back down again and they are long odds to stun St Helens in round one.

It's 1-40 about a home win and the Saints are asked to cover a 28-point handicap but the match looks best left alone from a betting perspective.
