Leigh vs St Helens Prediction: This game could go either way

Leigh and St Helens will battle it out at Leigh Sports Village in round 27 of the Betfred Super League. The two teams last meeting ended in a 46-4 win for Leigh in this venue. Can St Helens get a revenge win?

Leigh struggled against Hull KR the previous weekend and lost 0-24. In that encounter, this team lost 0-10 in the first half and still failed to score in the second half, conceding 14. In the meantime, prior encounters to that defeat saw Leigh win five consecutive matches. In that run, this team defeated Hull FC, London Broncos, Warrington Wolves, and Castleford. 

St Helens' previous weekend encounter was against Castleford, and this team pulled off a 40-4 win. In that encounter, this team led by ten points in the first half, which ended 14-4, before a dominant 26-0 victory in the second half. However, that win was St Helens' second in recent encounters, as they lost three others. St Helens have accumulated 30 points this season from 26 matches, leaving them seated 5th in the Super League. 

Leigh have a very good chance of winning this game despite struggling against Hull KR last weekend. However, looking at St Helens, they are just not a side to write off despite their inconsistent performances in the previous months. This should be a competitive game as the two sides will look to give their best. Therefore, a bet on points. In the meantime, with last weekend's performance against Castleford, I believe St Helens should be able to secure consecutive victories.
