Match preview

Day two of the Magic Weekend kicks off with an interesting contest between two in-form sides.

Salford stunned Warrington last week with their come-from-behind victory and they can push high-flying Huddersfield all the way.

The Giants saw their six-game winning streak ended by Castleford last time out and won't find the Red Devils pushovers after their 32-24 win over the Wolves having been 24-4 down.

Salford have enjoyed this fixture recently, winning three of the last four, and they have joined the Giants as the third-highest scorers in the division.

Huddersfield have won six of their last seven league matches but the Red Devils look the bet with a start.

Catalans Dragons v Warrington Wolves

Where to watch

Sky Sports Action, 3.15pm

Match preview

The Wolves have had a miserable season and are once again licking their wounds following a demoralising collapse against Salford.

Catalans got back to winning ways last week with an impressive win over league-leaders St Helens and should be too strong here.

The Dragons have the second-best defence in Super League this season, conceding just 237 points in 17 matches, and could keep the Wolves from the door.

Catalans have won the last two meetings, the most recent by a 32-point margin, and although things may be closer this time around a six-point handicap can be comfortably taken care of.

Hull KR v Hull FC

Where to watch

Sky Sports Action, 5.30pm

Match preview

The Hull derby brings the curtain down on Magic Weekend for another year and it is hard to pick a winner in this contest.

Bookmakers are also struggling to pick their favourite with both sides fancied by various firms.

Preference here is for Hull KR to come out on top given FC's inability to score points following playmaker Jake O'Connor's season-ending injury.

The Black & Whites have lost their last four league matches, posting just 24 points and conceding 102 in their last three outings.

KR were beaten at bottom-of-the-table Toulouse last week and head coach Tony Smith has since left his role.

This could be ugly but the Robins are fancied to edge to their second victory over their bitter rivals in 2022.
