Hull FC vs St Helens Prediction: Helens have to step up their game

MKM Stadium will host the Betfred Super League encounter between Hull FC and St Helens. The two teams have struggled over weeks and will hope for something better in this encounter. Will there be a winner in this game? Below, I will analyze this encounter and look at betting possibilities. 

Hull FC are yet to find their rhythm, and they keep finding it hard to get things right. Last weekend against the Catalans Dragons, this team lost 24-16 on the road, extending their defeats to fifteen in the last seventeen matches. In fact, their victories were against Wigan Warriors and Leeds.

In the meantime, Hull FC fumbled in their games against Hull KR, Salford Warrington Wolves, Huddersfield, Castleford, London Broncos, and St Helens. Heading into this game, Hull FC are seated 11th in the standings, securing 6 points in 19 matches.

St Helens are off their fifth defeat in a row, and they head into this game hoping to turn the tables around. In that run of games, St Helens lost to Salford, Castleford, Wigan Warriors, Warrington, and Leigh last weekend. However, occupy the last spot in the playoff standings with 22 points from 19 matches. Looking at their performance in this fixture, St Helens have four wins in their last five encounters, and they will hope to dominate here. 

I am on St Helens to win this encounter. Without a doubt, this team has struggled lately, and I do trust them to get on the right track every week. Hull FC are underdogs, and despite being at home, they have not been special as a team. While I expect them to struggle, a bet of a few points is another option.
