Hull KR vs Salford Prediction: Home side will turn things around

In the quarterfinals of the Europe Challenge Cup, Hull KR will play Salford at Craven Park. Because of their recent struggles, it is not surprising that Hull KR are huge underdog in this match, while Salford are the favorite to win while playing away from home. 

The host team will be hoping to improve their performance in order to increase their chances of advancing to the semifinals of this competition. Hull KR are massive underdogs entering this game. Hull KR won their most recent match in this competition with a resounding 50-0 victory over Batley in the middle of May of this year. During that encounter, the first point was scored when Kirsty Linnett converted a try in the opening minute of the contest. This was followed by a series of tries scored by Ryan and Michael Lewis, as well as a number of conversion goals. In the interim, Hull KR has only been victorious in one of their most recent matches, losing the others to Warrington, Wigan, Salford, and Catalans Dragons, respectively.

The home team, Salford, is undefeated in each of their previous four matches coming into this one, so they should feel confident that they have what it takes to come away with a victory. During their current winning streak, Salford has beaten Huddersfield by a score of 42-40, Hull FC by a score of 29-22, Hull KR by a score of 26-116, and Castleford by a score of 10-42. Rhys Williams and Marc Sneyd were the most important players in their most recent game, which was a rout of Castleford. Marc Sneyd kicked five conversion goals, while Rhys Williams scored two tries in that game. Cross and Sio also had significant contributions to the game. However, in order for Salford to win against a Hull KR team that is currently struggling, it is essential for them to maintain the same quality of play that they have been displaying.

In the most recent five head-to-head matchups, Hull Kingston won four of them. Hull Kingston is currently in poor shape (with only one win in their previous five games). The past five games that Salford has played have resulted in four victories for the team.

While Hull KR are underdogs on their own field, I still think they have a chance to win this match. Even though they are not in their greatest form, contests like this demand the players to be at their absolute best in terms of determination and devotion. In the meantime, Salford appear to be doing well as of late, and if they are able to carry out their game plan, they will have no doubts that they have what it takes to come out on top of this competition. In light of their previous encounters as well as the magnitude of what is at stake in this game, I do not anticipate Hull KR to make a crucial error at home; as a result, they should be able to cover the point spread. In the meantime, while I do not expect there to be a lot of offensive action here, betting on under is a decent choice to think about.
