ST. HELENS FORM: SAINTS TORN APART
St. Helens were taken apart by Hull KR last week as they failed to live with their opponents in the opening exchanges. That is now back-to-back losses and they have managed to win just two of their last seven.

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS VS ST. HELENS PREDICTION
Huddersfield Giants have endured a tough campaign but they will be wanting to bow out on a high with just a few games remaining. They gave a dreadful account of themselves last week as they shipped 60 points and St. Helens will aim to compound their woes as they look to make their top six spot a little more secure. They were also poor last time out but have enough quality to overcome the Giants in this one.
