CATALANS DRAGONS FORM: DRAGONS SUFFER ANOTHER BLOW
Catalans have now lost four of their last five matches after going down to St. Helens in their most recent encounter and the pressure will be on here if they want to remain in touch with the teams at the top of the table.

After avoiding defeat in their prior four matches, Leigh suffered a damaging defeat at the hands of Hull KR. They were nilled in that game and will need to produce a big effort to bounce back with the top six starting to look like a pipe dream.

CATALANS DRAGONS VS LEIGH LEOPARDS PREDICTION
Catalans Dragons will have revenge in mind after they were beaten 30-2 when the teams last met at the end of April. The French side have been poor since then and have now lost four of their last five with that defeat being the first during their current run. On the other hand, Leigh Leopards have put a solid run together but fell short against Hull KR last time out as they suffered a first loss in five and on the road once again here, they are likely to fall to a second defeat in succession.
