Castleford Tigers VS Hull FC Super League Preview

Ahead of the Super League leaders are flying towards the Semi-Finals and the Tigers juggernaut keeps on rolling after a crushing win last week over Wigan Warriors and they are firm favourites to lift the Super League title in October and baring any nerves there looks little to stop their push towards their first title. Many pundits have expected the lack of experience at the business end of the season to be a potential Tigers downfall but nothing has been seen yet. Hull FC know that a point will ensure their Semi-Final spot but facing the best side this season in their final Super 8s game will mean a nervous wait to see how other teams will have done should the result go against them. They are in pole-position to qualify however and they will be confident of matching the league leaders and picking up the point they need.

Key Players to Watch

Before looking at our RL betting tips, we take a look at the key players on show and England International Greg Eden has scored a try in his last six games on his way to an outstanding 38 across the season and the outside-back will be eyeing more to lead his side to a potential Super League title. Hull FC stand-off Albert Kelly has been leading from the front for the visitors with 18 tries himself in the season and he will be hoping that the Tigers will take their foot off the gas, allowing Hull to earn a s Semi-Final spot.

Both Teams Recent Form

Castleford Tigers have not relented in the pressure they have been applying at the top of the Super League title as seen in their last game against the in-form Wigan Warriors, who were well beaten. The Tigers have won the last five games and are back on track. Hull FC have not had the best Super 8s campaign and the win against Wakefield Trinity last time out snapped a three match losing streak.

Castleford Tigers VS Hull FC Head-to-Head

There have been three matches between the two teams this season and in a surprising twist, it is Hull FC that have the better record with two early wins, one in the Super League and one in the challenge Cup. However, their latest game at the back end of June, it was the league leaders that came out on top. All the matches have been close, suggesting that this one could be no different.

Castleford Tigers VS Hull FC Prediction

For our latest RL Super League odds, the recent form points to a one-way win for the home side who have made Mend-A-Hose Jungle a fortress this season and that is why we are plucking for a Castleford Tigers win and 10Bet’s odds of 8/13 are worth snapping up. This will see them go into the Semi-Finals in confident mood and they look a good bet to win their first ever Super League title. Hull FC have made it tough for the Tigers this season and their two early wins will surely count for something but it’s their recent form which is a worry and why we think that the home side will come out on top in another close fought contest like the previous three games this season. With players of the quality of Greg Eden and Luke Gale on show for the Tigers, the points should flow for the home side and it remains to be seen whether Hull can keep up with the league leaders and this is why the 8/15 odds on the Tigers to reach 10 points first at Ladbrokes are tasty.
