Castleford vs St Helens
The Mend-A-Hose Jungle
26.02.2023, 16:00
The match that will take place during round 2 of the English Super League will take place at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle. Castleford's first game in the league this season resulted in a loss for them, while St. Helens will enter this season on a high heel after beating Penrith Panther in the World Club Challenge match.
Castleford - not in their best form
After coming up short against Hull FC in their season opener in a match that ended with a score of 32-30, Castleford will be hoping for a stronger showing in this contest. Nonetheless, there is a lot of room for improvement in this game because they have lost as many as six of their most recent seven matches across all competitions. The Catalans Dragons and Warrington are the only teams they have beaten in their previous seven meetings. The home team is currently in eighth place in the Super League standings due to the fact that they have accumulated no points so far this season.
St Helens - title defense begins for the reigning champions
After an incredible 2022 season in which they ended atop the league standings and then went on to upset Leeds in the championship game of the playoffs, St. Helens will enter this encounter hoping for a great start to build on that success. Yet, their most recent match in the World Club Challenge Cup was against the Penrith Panthers of Australia. This simply goes to show how many more fantastic performances we should expect from the guests. We are cheering for the reigning world champions to get off to a strong start as they begin their defense of their title.
Expert Betting Tips
Despite the fact that they will be competing in a match away from their home venue, it is anticipated that St. Helens will be able to pull off a successful performance and victory in this contest. Their quality of play, their tactical play, and the team that they possess just cannot be compared to Castleford's level of play in any way. There is no question that Castleford will put up a good performance in this match, despite the fact that we anticipate them trying to make some adjustments during the game. But even if they are successful in covering the spread, they will still have a hard time gaining a victory under such circumstances.
