Castleford Tigers v St Helens Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

St Helens are in a rich vein of form and they will take some stopping when they make the familiar trip across the Pennines to take on Castleford Tigers on Saturday afternoon.

Currently on a five-game winning streak in Super League, Saints have risen to the summit of the standings.

As for Cas, inconsistency has riddled the Tigers this season, with wins over Bradford Bulls, Wigan Warriors and York Knights the few highlights for the West Yorkshire outfit.

With a poor record against St Helens, it could be a long 80 minutes in store for the Tigers on Saturday at The Jungle.

These sides met earlier this season in the Challenge Cup and it was St Helens who ran out 32-8 winners at The Jungle back in March.

Alternative Bet: Under 52.5 total points @ 4/5
