Catalans Dragons vs St. Helens Prediction

Catalans Dragons have started to get on a roll with the help of the Challenge Cup. The Dragons have balanced their cup commitments with the Super League really well and have won their last three fixtures in all competitions. Their defence however, will need to be at their very best here in order to keep St. Helens at bay.

The Saints need to improve offensively after the Warrington Wolves defeat but that will be easier said than done against a mean Dragons backline who have conceded just four points over the course of their last two Super League games.

In the end, Catalans could bully Saints into submission and the Makinson factor also can’t be underestimated, the former St. Helens man no doubt ensuring his teammates know all about what they are set to face. On their own patch, back the Dragons to get the job done.
