Key Players to Watch

Looking to power his side through to the Semi-Finals, Saints’ Alex Walmsley is the leading player across the league in making metres for his side and they will need him to continue to gain crucial ground, whilst adding to his nine tries this season. England International Jermaine McGillvary remains the Giants leading player and is key to their hopes as they look to end the season on a high and give themselves momentum for next season.

Both Teams Recent Form

The Saints have had a mixed Super 8s campaign that has seen them fall short at home in crucial matches against Hull FC and Wigan Warriors and left them with it all to do in their final two games of the season that has been marred by inconsistency. The Giants can no longer make the Super 8s and are another side that have been inconsistent and can no longer make the latter stages after a heavy loss to Salford Red Devils last time out.

St Helens VS Huddersfield Giants Head-to-Head

This season it is the Huddersfield Giants with the bragging rights to date after winning their most recent clash back in June, whilst in their early season match, there was nothing to separate the two teams in a draw and St Helens will be looking to level the series for this game. Over their last 10 meetings it is pretty even between the two sides with Saints just edging it 5-4 with a draw added into the mix.

St Helens VS Huddersfield Giants Prediction

We are now in the most crucial point of the season for all teams as they look to secure their Semi-Final spot and a chance to win a Super League title and for our latest rugby league tonight predictions, we think with the pressure firmly on their shoulders, St Helens will rise to the occasion and give themselves a chance of making the Semi-Finals going into their final game of the Super 8s. Huddersfield in contrast have nothing to play for but pride and that can be dangerous when the pressure is off and the Saints will have to work hard and stem the threat of Jermaine McGillvary if they want to make the Semi-Finals. Look for a vocal crowd to back the home side to victory and with their experience in years gone by, who would rule out a Super League title for the Saints if they can get it right.
