Friday's Betfred Super League predictions

The Betfred Super League season is only three weeks old but the long race for Grand Final glory is already looking like a two-horse race if the bookmakers’ odds are to believed.

Champions Wigan, who are long odds-on to pile more pain on new boys London tomorrow, are 6-4 with sponsors Betfred to land back-to-back titles with St Helens, the team they deposed as champions, 9-4 shots. It’s 9-1 bar the Lancashire rivals.

Saints, who are hoping to make it four wins in as many matches this season when they host Salford on Friday, are 14-point favourites but the other two fixtures are more interesting from a betting perspective.

Leeds were always likely to take some time to hit their stride given the turnover of players at Headingley in the off-season, and that has certainly been evident in home wins over Salford and Catalans.

The Rhinos were beaten at Hull KR in between those triumphs and tonight’s trip to Leigh, who defeated them at home and away last term, could certainly be tricky.

The Leopards have suffered eight-point defeats to Huddersfield and St Helens in their two matches to date, and there is every chance that tonight’s meeting with the Rhinos will be just as tight.

Leigh’s two matches have produced points totals of 24 and 16, while the Rhinos’ three outings have featured 38, 34 and 28 points respectively.

Last season’s meetings yielded a 20-6 win for the Leopards at home and 13-6 at Headingley, and going low on a total points line of 35.5 could be the way to go.

Castleford look set for another season of struggle and the Tigers could slump to a fourth successive defeat of 2024 at home to local rivals Huddersfield.

The Giants are no great shakes themselves but they should prove head and shoulders above Cas, who they have beaten five times in their last six encounters.Huddersfield kept the Tigers scoreless at the Jungle last term – they shipped only four points against them at home too – and a two-point handicap line seems eminently achievable.

Ian Watson’s visitors have found the competition’s two strongest sides, Wigan and Saints, too strong in their last two outings but Cas are nowhere near that pair’s level.
