Betfred Super League rugby: Sunday betting preview, match odds & stats

3pm Sunday

Warrington Wolves are 3-1 favourites with Ladbrokes to win the Betfred Super League Grand Final despite being four points of adrift of leaders St Helens, but they can flex their muscles when Huddersfield Giants roll into town.

The Wolves were surprisingly beaten 36-12 by Salford on Good Friday but they responded by thrashing Hull KR 54-6 during Easter Monday's trip to East Yorkshire.

The Giants are a more formidable bunch than the hapless Robins but the Wolves can continue their dominance over a side they have beaten the last three times they have met.

The corresponding fixture last season saw the Wolves run out 38-4 winners and although things should be a bit closer this time another comfortable home win is likely.

Home wins can also be expected for Leeds and St Helens, who face Hull KR and Catalans respectively on a busy day in Super League.

The Rhinos look a decent bet covering a two-try handicap at Headingley but match markets look about right for Saints who should send the French raiders packing at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Instead have a dart on in-form St Helens man Kevin Naiqama getting on the scoresheet once again for the Red Vee.

Naiqama has scored six so far in his debut season in England including four in Saints' 62-16 thrashing of Hull on Monday.

Lee Radford will be looking for a response from his side following that hiding at St Helens but his side have a tricky encounter with Wakefield to negotiate.

Radford's men are 4-7 to get back to winning ways but the Wildcats have won the last three meetings including a 72-10 drubbing in July last year and this fixture looks best left alone from a betting perspective.
