Hull KR vs Leigh Leopards Prediction: Leigh's recent run over Leopards could continue

In the championship game of the Challenge Cup, Leigh Leopards and Hull KR will square off against each other. The last time the Leigh Leopards won the cup was in 1971. Rovers' sole appearance in a cup final this century resulted in a dreadful defeat in 2015, when they were beaten 50-0 by Leeds. The Challenge Cup final will be fiercely contested, with both teams doing everything in their power to come out on top and take home the trophy, but the odds are in favor of Leigh coming out on top.

Hull KR - expected to display character

Hull KR have only ever competed in this competition once, although they have appeared in seven finals over the course of its history. The year 2015 saw their first and only appearance in the final since 1986, when Leeds Rhinos defeated them in a 50-0 whitewash to claim the title. Hull KR defeated Batley with a score of 50-0 in the sixth round, then defeated Salford with a score of 28-10 in the quarterfinals, before upsetting the odds against Wigan. Hull KR defeated the Wigan Warriors thanks to a golden point drop goal they scored during the extra period of play. Hull KR will now look to win the Challenge Cup for the first time since their only other success, which came against local rivals Hull FC in 1980. According to the team's head coach, Willie Peters, "Getting to Wembley is a great achievement, and it goes without saying that we're going to be playing against a great Leigh team." " It's wonderful that two clubs like ours are competing against each other in the Wembley final. We now look forward to seeing this side be at their best and deliver quality despite the fact that they are the underdogs here.

Leigh Leopards - Leopards’ confidence can not be overwritten

This year in the Super League, Leigh has been a pleasant surprise, as they have consistently displayed a high level of team spirit and are currently ranked in the top three of the standings. In this competition, the Leopards prevailed with resounding victories in both Wakefield and York, and then, in the semifinals, they overcame a deficit to prevail over St. Helens 12-10. It was Leigh's fourth promotion in the Super League era; however, they were quickly relegated back to the second division the three previous times, in 2005, 2017, and 2021. Leigh's promotion from the Championship last season was their fourth in the Super League era. Despite this, the team's fortunes have improved thanks to a rebranding as the Leopards (formerly known as the Centurions) and the acquisition of a number of high-profile players. Tom Briscoe, a former winger for England, is quoted as saying, "We'll take the confidence from our form in the Super League and the way that we were able to get past Saints in the semis." As Leigh looks to earn their second cup win, we are now looking forward to another top-class performance from them here.
