HULL FC VS HULL KR PREDICTION
Hull FC and Hull KR will do battle with both teams aiming to claim bragging rights in the city. The Airlie Birds have endured a wretched campaign but a win here would give them a small boost ahead of the business end of the season. For Rovers, a win will keep them right in the mix at the right end of the table and having won four of the past five meetings between the two, including both clashes to date this season Rovers have to be favoured again.
