CATALANS DRAGONS FORM: THREE STRAIGHT LOSSES FOR DRAGONS

LAST FIVE: LWLLL
HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS FORM: GIANTS FAIL TO BUILD ON WIN
It is now six losses in seven matches in all competitions for the Giants as Ian Watson struggles to get his side’s season back on track. They were beaten 32-6 by Hull KR last week in what was a very poor second half showing.

CATALANS DRAGONS VS HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS PREDICTION
Two out-of-form teams meet here with Catalans Dragons and Huddersfield Giants both desperate for the win. The Dragons have fallen by the wayside after a strong start to the campaign and their top six spot looks far from secure. The Giants are in the chasing pack but have struggled for a long period now and the hosts are favoured to come out on top to make it seven losses in eight for Huddersfield.
