Having been relegated to the Championship in the 2016 Million Pound Game, Hull KR are looking to bounce straight back into the Super League. They face a Leigh Centurions side that struggled in their first season in the Super League and will want to ensure they have a second season in the top flight of Rugby League. This is expected to be a close game that could hinge on one decisive moment and could be a thriller.

Ahead of our Leigh Centurions v Hull Kingston Rovers odds, the game is expected to come down to the fine margins within the game and Hull’s confidence in winning 19 matches this season could be the deciding factor against a team that won just 6 games this season. Both teams have started the Qualifiers with a win and whoever takes this match will have given themselves an excellent chance for a Super League return.
Hull KR captain Shaun Lunt is an experienced player for the visitors and his team will look to him to provide the focus on the pitch and with his accuracy and speed from the dummy-half position, he will be one to watch. Leigh Centurions centre Matthew Dawson has got double the amount of tries any other player has got this season and if they are to return to the Super League he will need to be the key man.
Before we get to our Super League odds, a morale boosting a win over high-flying Salford in the regular season and an opening win in the Qualifiers against Featherstone have given Leigh recent cause for optimism. Hull won their opening game against Widnes but had lost their last two regular season games and will want to return to their previous form that had seen them lose just one match all season prior to that.
These sides have only met on three occasions before, with their last match coming in the Challenge Cup this season, which saw Hull KR take an away win that could have a huge bearing on the match. Leigh Centurions took the honours in last season’s Qualifiers but the tables have turned now and Hull KR have the confidence going into the game.
Experience at the highest level is what we think the deciding factor will be in this match. So our match prediction gives the edge to Hull Kingston Rovers, who have done all they can to get back to the Super League at the first attempt and have a win over Leigh Centurions this season for confidence going into this game.
