Leeds Rhinos vs Huddersfield Giants Prediction
Leeds Rhinos fans will be expecting a big performance and a positive result against the struggling Huddersfield Giants, especially with the Rhinos having home advantage. They’ve won their last two fixtures on their own patch and face the only team in Super League still yet to win a game this season. It’s played seven, lost seven for Huddersfield Giants.
The most recent of those seven defeats was a 18-38 beating at the hands of Catalans Dragons and that followed up a 50-4 thrashing suffered by the Giants against a formidable Hull KR. Whilst the margin of victory isn’t expected to be quite as big here, Leeds should still come out on top comprehensively.
