Catalan Dragons make their first appearance in The Qualifiers after a poor 2017 Super League regular season saw them leak points across the season. They know that to head back to the Super Leauge next season they will need to shore up their defences against a Broncos side that finished second in the Championship and have hopes of returning to the Super League.

Ahead of our Catalan Dragons vs London Broncos betting tips, the inconsistency throughout the season, cost the Dragons any hope of making the Super 8’s and they go into The Qualifiers desperately trying to shore up a defence that conceded more points than any team during the regular season. The Bronco’s will look to exploit this and scored freely in the Championship and will be hoping that Catalan’s defensive frailties come back to haunt them.
Richie Myler has been one of Catalan Dragons more consistent players in 2017 and will need the scrum-half to provide a spark in attack to give the Dragons the belief they need to scrap for their Super League lives before he heads back to England. The Broncos will look to Jarrod Summut to provide the creative flair as they seek a return to the Super League and if he can fire for the Bronco’s, their momentum might see them pull off a crucial win.
Before we get to our Super League odds, we take a look at the form of both teams, where the Dragons ended the 2017 regular season with three losses to teams competing in the Super 8s and will want an early win to regain lost confidence. In contrast, the Bronco’s won their final three games in the Championship and have lost only one of their previous ten games and will be full of confidence.
It has been four seasons since these teams last played each other and the Dragons have a 10-0 record against them dating back to 2012 when the Bronco’s last appeared in the Super League. This should give the Dragons some confidence and they will need to draw on the memory to pick up an important win.
Anything can happen in The Qualifiers and it’s a tough first match for the Dragons and they will be nervous having conceded points throughout the season and for our match prediction, we believe the momentum of the Bronco’s will see them go to France and come away with a morale boosting win and give them the best start to The Qualifiers.
