Friday's Betfred Super League match predictions

St Helens have won 14 of their last 15 meetings with Leeds Rhinos and the Saints can extend that sequence at the Totally Wicked Stadium on Friday.

Two of those wins have come this season as the Red Vee dumped Leeds out of the Betfred Challenge Cup with a 20-6 victory at Headingley in March, and that came just a week after Saints claimed an 18-8 league win at the same venue.

St Helens started this round of matches as one of four teams locked on 16 points at the head of the standings, with only reigning champions Wigan above the second-placed Saints on points difference.

Paul Wellens' men can leapfrog their bitter rivals with a victory over the Loiners, and they should make no mistake on home soil.

Saints' dominance in this fixture has come despite some tight recent encounters, but they possess the best defence in Super League after 11 rounds, conceding at a rate of just 10.3 points per match.

And, having been nilled at Catalans Dragons last time out, it is difficult to see misfiring Leeds breaking through the home defence on too many occasions on Friday.

It was 26-0 to the Dragons in that match and Leeds' patchy form has seen them beat only the bottom three sides - London, Hull FC and Castleford Tigers - in their last seven matches.

The Rhinos have struggled against the division's big boys, losing to Saints, Catalans, Huddersfield, and Hull KR this season.

Rohan Smith's men have an inferiority complex against the top dogs, and St Helens are fancied to cover a chunky 16-point handicap.

Second-bottom Hull FC were beaten by bottom-of-the-table London Broncos last time out, and their misery could be compounded by a defeat at third-bottom Castleford, too. 

The Black and Whites are in miserable shape and had no answer to the bucking Broncos in a 34-18 defeat in the capital just under a fortnight ago.

The Tigers could sink their claws into the Airlie Birds, and a six-point handicap looks well within reach.

Cas have won just twice this season but they should be able to see off a Hull side who have lost their last eight matches by margins of 16, 18, 6, 58, 34, 24, 50 and 14 points.

Leigh Leopards head to Huddersfield in Friday's other fixture, but the pair are wildly inconsistent. The Giant are 5-6 to arrest a four-match losing run in all competitions.
