Catalans Dragons vs Leigh Prediction: Dragons expected to end poor run with a win here

Stade Gilbert Brutus will host the Betfred Super League game between Catalans Dragons and Leigh. Both teams are off a defeat. How will this one end?

Catalans Dragons will look to turn the tables following a defeat at the hands of St Helens last time out in the league. In the meantime, that defeat was Catalans Dragons’ fourth in their last five matches. In fact, their only win in that run was against Leeds Rhinos in a 26-0 at home. However, the Catalans Dragons lost to Leigh, Wigan Warriors, and Warrington Wolves in other games. In the league this season, Catalans Dragons have 16 points which put them seated 6th in the standings.

Leigh will look to return to winning ways following a defeat at the hands of Hull KR last time out. However, that defeat was Leigh’s second in recent matches, having lost after extra time against Castleford in an earlier encounter. In the meantime, Leigh did well to pick wins against Catalans Dragons, Salford Red Devils and Huddersfield in other encounters. In the league this season, Leigh has 9 points from 12 matches, leaving them positioned 9th in the standings. 

Leigh have not impressed me enough despite recent improved play. While this team won the most recent meeting of this fixture, they still do not have the players needed to compete against a fully fit Catalans Dragons. In general, the Catalans Dragons have the better record in this fixture, and with a need to end their poor run, I am backing them to win.
