Betfred Super League
Sky Sports Arena, 5pm Saturday

We're no closer to knowing who will finish bottom of the Betfred Super League with three rounds of the regular season remaining and the five-way scrap to avoid the drop looks set to go to the wire.

Hull KR are one of the outfits fighting for survival but a trip to the south of France is the last thing they need.

Not many teams escape the Dragons' den unscathed. KR's relegation rivals London managed it a fortnight ago and that will give the Robins hope but it won't be easy.

On current form neither of these teams can be backed with any confidence. Rovers are 13-8 shots with Catalans chalked up as 8-13 favourites.

Both have won just two of their last five outings with Catalans succumbing to the Broncos 17-4 last time out. KR were thumped by relegation rivals Wakefield 38-10 on home soil and it's difficult to see which of these sides can bounce back.

The Dragons look as if their race is run this season but the men from East Yorkshire are fighting for their lives and warrant some support.

The last two meetings between the teams finished 18-16 in favour of Catalans and another nervy contest looks likely.

KR get a four-point start on the handicap but better value looks to be backing them to claim a narrow victory.

It's 3-1 that the Robins win by no more than two converted tries and that looks worth a dabble.

Recommendation
Hull KR to win by one to 12 points
1pt 3-1 Coral, Ladbrokes
