Catalans Dragons vs Hull FC Prediction: Road team has no chance

Betfred Super League round 19 encounter will see Catalans Dragons play Hull FC at the Stade Gilbert Brutus. The Catalans Dragons are favorites to win this encounter, while Hull FC are coming off a win. How will this encounter end?

Catalans Dragons will come into this game hoping to win after losing last weekend to Castleford. In that game, the Catalans Dragons were behind at halftime with an 18-6 scoreline. However, we saw an improved play from them in the second half with a 6-12 win, but that was not enough to earn them a point. However, their prior games to that defeat saw Catalans Dragons secure three consecutive wins, defeating Huddersfield, Hull KR, and Salford Red Devils. Heading into this game, Catalans Dragons are seated 5th in the league standings with 22 points from 18 matches. 

Hull FC shocked Wigan Warriors last weekend, securing a 24-22 win in a home game. In that encounter, Hull FC had a good start, securing an 18-4 victory, and despite struggling in the second half, they still got maximum points. However, prior games to that win saw Hull FC lose to Warrington Wolves, Salford Red Devils, and Hull KR. Heading into this game, Hull FC have accumulated 6 points from 18 matches, putting them 4 points ahead of relegation-placed London Broncos. 

The Catalans Dragons should win this game with ease. Hull FC did show more than we could imagine from a struggling side like them, but I do not trust them to repeat that kind of performance here. I expect this to be a one-sided game, even though I am not writing Hull FC off. Take Catalans Dragons to win with a good margin.
