Betfred Challenge Cup predictions

Only the Betfred Challenge Cup eluded the Wigan Warriors in terms of silverware last season and the reigning world and the Betfred Super League champions are red-hot 5-2 favourites to add the famous old trophy to their collection for the first time since 2022.

St Helens are 13-time winners and could have a big say in the competition but they face a tricky trip to Leeds in round six so are best swerved at 4-1.

Leigh Leopards landed the prize last season with a last-gasp golden-point win over Hull KR, but they have made a slow start to the Betfred Super League season and can't be trusted at 28-1.

They should ease past Featherstone in round six but a quarter-final clash with one of the big boys may be too much to ask for a side riddled with injuries to key men at the moment.

Catalans Dragons are another force to be reckoned with at 7-1 but at a slightly bigger price, Warrington Wolves are the fancy at 8-1.

The Wolves have made a flying start to the 2024 campaign and only twice in the last decade have they had a better start results-wise.

It's four wins from five for the Wire, who have hit the ground running under new head coach Sam Burgess.

Friday's Betfred Challenge Cup predictions and betting tips: plus get £50 in Betfred bonuses 

No team have scored more points in the opening five rounds of the new season than Warrington’s total of 156, an average of just over 31 per game, and only Wigan have have a better points-per-game average at this early stage.

The Wolves have also scored 27 tries - more than any other side - and they will take some stopping as they go in search of silverware.

A sixth-round meeting with London Broncos should hold few fears after they hammered the capital side 58-4 in the league last week and Warrington look more than capable of lifting the trophy for a tenth time and for the first time since 2019.

Hull KR were agonisingly close to their second Challenge Cup triumph last season, but there has been little sign of a hangover from their golden-point loss to Leigh in last season's final.

The Robins dusted themselves down to finish fourth in the Betfred Super League and they look primed to challenge again in 2024.

The Robins have won three of their opening five matches and remain a value bet at 9-1 to pitch up at Wembley for the second season running.

A tricky sixth-round tie with Salford should be negotiated at their Craven Park stronghold, where KR have already beaten Leeds and narrowly lost to Warrington this season.

Rovers beat Salford 12-0 when they last faced the Red Devils on home soil last season, and Willie Peters' men also beat Catalans and St Helens in an impressive 2023 campaign.

They look even stronger this time and could build up a head of steam as the season wears on, and another tilt at silverware could be in the offing.
