Match preview 

Leigh Leopards were beaten 20-10 by Salford Red Devils on their return to the Betfred Super League last week and they may have to wait a little longer yet for their first top-flight win since 2021.

The Leopards visit Catalans on Saturday but a trip to the south of France is rarely easy for any side and the Dragons looked sharp during their 38-24 hammering of Wakefield in round one.

Leigh shipped 64 points without reply on their last visit to the Stade Gilbert Brutus two years ago and bookmakers don't fancy their chances on this latest trip.

The visitors are 11-2 for an unlikely victory, but wet conditions are forecast for Perpignan on Saturday and that may temper the Dragons' chances of knocking the spots off the Leopards, although a 14-point handicap looks within reach.
