Leigh Leopards just about stayed in the hunt for a play-off spot with a win over Huddersfield Giants but know they cannot afford to lose many more games this season. They should have too much for bottom side London Broncos and could end the weekend seven points outside of the top six.

LEIGH LEOPARDS FORM: IMPORTANT WIN FOR LEIGH

The Leopards avoided a third straight loss as they edged Huddersfield last week but they need to keep winning if they are to make a late charge for the play-offs with that their first win in their last three games.

LAST FIVE: LWLLW

LONDON BRONCOS FORM: LONDON LOSE AGAIN

It is now six successive defeats for the Broncos as they went down to Castleford Tigers last week. This is a game they may view as winnable but it is hard to see them earning just a second win of the campaign in this one.

LAST FIVE: LLLLL

LEIGH LEOPARDS VS LONDON BRONCOS PREDICTION

Leigh Leopards know they are big outsiders to make the top six but they have nothing to lose moving forward and that could make them a dangerous opponent. Bottom side London Broncos have produced a couple of decent showings of late but they still have just one win to their name all season and it is hard to envisage them claiming a second here with the Leopards able to carve them open on the edges.
