Catalans Dragons vs Hull FC Prediction
Hull FC will be hoping to fare much better in 2025 and they look to have made some positive changes with a new coach and a number of new faces in the squad.
They have been handed an incredibly tough opening match however to get underway as they make the difficult trip to France to face the Dragons.
Catalans were disappointing last season by their recent lofty standards and they will be fired up to do much better this time around.
They are without a couple of players but they have a point to prove. Expect them to start fast and get an opening-day win under their belts. A relatively safe one to add to your accumulator.
