Betfred Super League betting preview, tips and odds

3pm Sunday

Tommy Makinson’s star performances for England last autumn earned the St Helens winger the Golden Boot, awarded to the player adjudged to be the best rugby league player in the world by a panel of journalists.

Makinson wasn’t on the scoresheet in St Helens’ opening Betfred Super League victory over rivals Wigan but he could be a value bet to open his account for 2019 when Saints head to Wakefield on Sunday.

The Saints flyer is 9-1 to open the scoring at Belle Vue and looks a decent each-way bet with Betfair, who go a quarter the odds for the first three touchdowns.

Opponents Wakefield suffered a shock defeat to new boys London last week and bookmakers giving them starts of up to ten points clearly think they face a tall order against last season’s league leaders.

London, meanwhile, are 7-2 to upset the odds again this weekend as they head to a Salford side buoyed by an impressive 34-14 win at Huddersfield in round one.

Recommendation
T Makinson first tryscorer
1pt each-way 9-1 Betfair
