Leigh Leopards vs Catalans Dragons Prediction
Leigh Leopards have made a strong start to the season with wins over Wigan and Huddersfield and they will be hoping to make it a hat-trick of victories against the Dragons.
The French outfit have had a tough start having suffered losses to Hull FC and then Warrington last week. The loss to Hull was particularly concerning and they are under some pressure here to really put in an improved performance.
That will be easier said than done against Leigh however who will be fired up in front of their home crowd and despite a few injuries, are determined to go far this season.
Expect the Dragons to put up a fight here and keep this one really close. The handicap looks pretty spot on to us but consider the unders in total points.
Leigh Leopards vs Catalans Dragons Tip: Under 36.5 total points
