Match preview

Castleford Tigers and Hull FC began 2020 harbouring top-four aspirations in the Betfred Super League but a poor run of form since lockdown means their hopes are hanging by a thread.

Cas have won just once in six Super League games since the season resumed in August while Hull have triumphed in two of their five league outings.

All Super League clubs are dealing with injuries given the packed schedule and that has been a reason for both clubs' travails.

Bookmakers make Castleford four-point favourites as they return to their home ground, the Jungle, after weeks spent playing at neutral venues across the rugby league heartlands.

However, Hull were 29-16 winners when the sides met in the Challenge Cup six weeks ago and with little between the sides the visitors look the call in what promises to be a tight contest in West Yorkshire.
