Catalans Dragons vs Huddersfield Prediction: Both teams are not reliable

Stade Gilbert Brutus will host the Betfred Super League game between Catalans Dragons and Huddersfield. Both teams are coming off defeats. How will they respond here?

Catalans Dragons are coming off defeats in this game, and in this one, they will hope for a better result. In their last matches, Catalans Dragons lost to Warrington Wolves, St Helens, and Leigh. However, this side has just one win in their last games, coming against Leeds Rhinos. In their performances this season, Catalans Dragons have 16 points from 14 matches, leaving them 6th in the standings.

Huddersfield's last game was against Hull KR, and this team lost 32-6. However, that defeat was Huddersfield's sixth in recent encounters. In fact, this team's lone win in their last seven games was against Hull FC in a 24-18 encounter. In the meantime, Huddersfield lost to St Helens, Salford Red Devils, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves and Leigh in other encounters. This season, Huddersfield have 12 points accumulated from 14 matches, leaving them 8th in the standings. 

I expect this game to be a tighter one than it looks on paper. Catalans Dragons are favorites, but they have not been decent in this fixture nor been excellent in recent league games. Therefore, with the Huddersfield team expected to be better, a bet on them to cover the spread is a good option.
