LEEDS RHINOS FORM: RHINOS STRUGGLE AGAIN
The Rhinos have now conceded 66 points in their last two matches and have managed just 10 points of their own in the process. That record on both sides of the ball will need to improve if they are to find a way of forcing a play-off spot.

CASTLEFORD TIGERS FORM: TIGERS NOW WITH ONE DEFEAT IN FOUR
While it was far from pretty, Castleford did the job against Hull FC to bounce back from their hammering against St. Helens. That is now just one loss in four for the Tigers and they will hope that this run of form can be the turning point of their season.

LEEDS RHINOS VS CASTLEFORD TIGERS PREDICTION
Two struggling teams meet here in this West Yorkshire derby with the pressure mounting on under-seige Leeds Rhinos head coach Rohan Smith. The Rhinos have lost their last two in miserable fashion while Castleford Tigers are on a high having lost just one of their last four and the away side are favoured here with the aid of a start on the handicap.
