Classy Castleford can regain winning thread

When you've conceded 50 points on each of your last two home outings, the visit of the league leaders and deadliest side in Betfred Super League, Castleford, is possibly the last thing you would want.

But that's the scenario facing Hull FC, who could be staring at a third straight defeat at their KCom Stadium home on Sunday.

Castleford's Easter Monday defeat at St Helens was just their second of the season and at a shade off odds-on, they are taken to regain the winning thread.

The Tigers' awesome attack has been ripping defences apart this season - notching 372 points in just ten games - and could have too much for Hull's defence.

Wigan are ten-point favourites to see off Catalans in Sunday's other Betfred Super League tie.

Away from the top tier, the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup goes transatlantic as Toronto Wolfpack take on Salford. The Canadians are a 12-1 chance to make the fifth round.

Recommendation
Castleford
2pts 4-5 general
