Castleford vs Hull FC Prediction: A close contest expected

Castleford and Hull KR will compete against one another in the round of eight of the Europe Challenge Cup.

Castleford - will cover the spread

As Castleford strives to advance to the next round of this competition, they will be looking to halt their current winless run in this crucial encounter in the hopes of advancing further. Castleford have been on a losing streak recently, with their most recent defeats coming against Salford, Hull KR, Leigh, and Catalans Dragons, respectively. In fact, the home club have been in very bad form recently, as evidenced by the fact that they have only won one of their previous eight matches, and that victory came against Wakefield. Despite this, we are of the opinion that we cannot completely overwrite Castleford in this match; as a result, we anticipate that they will play to the best of their abilities.

Hull FC - will not have it easy

Hull FC defeated Wakefield in their most recent encounter, which took place away from home and ended with a score of 6-26. In that game, goals were scored by Swift and Clifford. Despite this, Hull FC were able to pick up all the points thanks to a resounding victory by a score of 6-20 as they dominated the second half. When looking at their most recent five matches, Hull FC have now won three in a row while also suffering losses in two of those encounters.

Expert Betting Tips

We are unable to discount either team in this match, and despite the fact that Hull FC are the favorite, we do not believe that they will have an easy time of it. We can absolutely count on Castleford to cover the spread in this matchup, as they are anticipated to display a better character than their opponent.
