Super League - Round 26 - Hull FC vs Les Catalans

Hull FC vs Les Catalans (+20/26pts)

Bottom of the league, Les Catalans have found life tough on the road in their first year competing with Europe's finest rugby league sides. Away from the comfortable surroundings of southern France they have conceded an average of 30+pts a game, picking up only 2 wins along the way. Tomorrow afternoon they travel to the north of England to face high flying Hull FC.

Hull have impressed many during the second half of the season and are many people's fancy to challenge St Helens at Old Trafford. However, its not all plain sailing just yet for the airlie birds.....they still have domestic business to attend to, in ensuring they finish in 2nd spot, allowing for an easier route to the Grand Final (the Hull players will be more than aware of their previous encounters in the playoffs).

Leeds' emphatic victory over Warrington, means it is vital Hull win tomorrow, and win well as points difference could be a factor come round 28.

Les Catalans are without the suspended Jerome Guisset, his presence and Super League experience should prove costly for the French side, who are also missing first teamers John Wilson and full-back Renaud Guigue. Hull are at near full strength, with Kirk Yeaman getting valuable field minutes after a long spell on the sidelines, I expect him to score some points tomorrow.

Hull: Briscoe, Carvell, Cooke, Domic, Dowes, Hall, G. Horne, R. Horne, King, McMenemy, Radford, Raynor, Swain, Tony, Washbrook, Wheeldon, Whiting, Yeaman.

Catalans: Beattie, Berthezene, Bosc, Casty, Chan, Fakir, Fellous, Frayssinous, Griffi, Hindmarsh, Hughes, Jones, Mounis, Murphy, Rinaldi, Sadaoui, Touxagas, Verges.

Recommendation: Hull FC -22pts @ 1.90 @ ladbrokes (3pts)
Prediction - Hull win by 36pts

(Scale 1-5pts)
