Salford Red Devil vs Castleford Prediction: Red Devil to return to winning ways

At Salford Community Stadium, Salford Red Devil will play Castleford in round 19 Betfred Super League. Castleford won the last meeting of this fixture and will look to keep things rolling. Will the Salford Red Devils get things right this time?

Salford Red Devil struggled once again, and last weekend, they lost against Huddersfield. In a game that ended 16-8, Salford Red Devil had a win at halftime, which ended 2-6. However, this team struggled in the second half, scoring just two goals while conceding 14. In the meantime, Salford Red Devil lost two of their last six matches, one against Catalans Dragons, while they could pick wins against London Broncos, Warrington Wolves, St Helens, and Hull FC. This team heads into this game seated 6th in the Betfred Super League with 22 points from 18 matches.

Castleford made it three wins in a row last time against Catalans Dragons and will look to keep things rolling. In that game, Castleford secured a 24-18 victory, taking an 18-6 lead at halftime, while their 6-12 defeat in the second half could not stop them from taking maximum points. However, prior encounters to that win saw Castleford defeat London Broncos and St Helens, while they lost to Wigan Warriors and Hull KR. In the league standings, Castleford are seated 10th in the league standings with 13 points from 18 matches.  

Castleford have not been at the top level, but their last weekends showed hope, and we can expect them to come here with positivity. However, Salford Red Devil has struggled in recent matches, and I do not see them as disappointing at home here. This should be a competitive game, but the Salford Red Devils are ahead of their opponent and should be able to win with a good margin at home.
