HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS FORM: GIANTS LOSE FIFTH STRAIGHT
It is now four successive losses in Super League for the Giants and five across the board after they went down to Leigh Leopards last week and they can ill-afford to suffer another defeat here.
LAST FIVE: WLLLL
HULL FC FORM: HULL HIT DOUBLE-FIGURE LOSING STREAK
Things cannot get much worse for the Black and Whites having now lost their last 10 matches. They ended the game well against Castleford Tigers last week but it was a case of too little, too late and they simply must find a way to improve on their recent efforts if they are to stop the rot.
LAST FIVE: LLLLL

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS VS HULL FC PREDICTION
Huddersfield Giants have been poor of late and the pressure is building on head coach Ian Watson. They come into this having lost all of their last four across the board but it is 10 straight defeats for Hull FC and while there were some signs of improvement in last week’s loss to Castleford Tigers, it would still be a surprise if they ended their losing streak in this one.
