Catalans Dragons v Castleford Tigers Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Catalans Dragons need points to keep up with the top six in Super League and a victory for the French outfit might just be around the corner when they host the Castleford Tigers on Saturday evening.

The Stade Gilbert Brutus won’t hold many fond memories for the Tigers, who have often made the trip back across the Channel with their tails between their legs.

While Catalans appear to be a shadow of their former selves, there is enough about the Dragons to suggest the home fans will have a fun night in Perpignan.

Catalans Dragons v Castleford Tigers Tips Summary

Best Bet - Catalans Dragons -10.5 handicap @ 10/11
Alternative Bet - Jason Qareqare anytime tryscorer @ 7/5
Bet Builder - Tommy Makinson to score two or more tries & Toby Sexton to win Player of the Match @ 18/1

Catalans Dragons v Castleford Tigers Prediction

Best Bet: Catalans Dragons -10.5 handicap @ 10/11

Castleford have had a slight upturn in form, with two wins in their last two games but their away form is still a concern going into this game.

The Tigers have managed just two wins in their last 13 away games in the Super League, while their form at the Stade Gilbert Brutus is even more of a concern.

Losing all of their last seven away games against the Dragons, one has to go back to 2017 for the last time the Tigers left Perpignan with a victory.

Suffering a 38-4 defeat on their last visit to Stade Gilbert Brutus, it’s difficult to see the Tigers keeping this one close and the Dragons are backed to cover the -10.5 handicap.

Alternative Bet: Jason Qareqare anytime tryscorer @ 7/5

Castleford are expected to suffer another defeat in Perpignan but Jason Qareqare jumps off the page in the anytime tryscorer market for Saturday’s game.

The 22-year-old winger has hit a hot streak of tryscoring form, scoring in all of his last three games with five tries in that run.

Given his recent form, the 7/5 for Qareqare to score on Saturday is worth some thought.

Catalans Dragons v Castleford Tigers Bet Builder Tip

• Tommy Makinson to score two or more tries

• Toby Sexton to win Player of the Match
  
  Pays 18/1

Bagging two Super League braces already this season, Catalans winger Tommy Makinson is backed to score at least two more on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Toby Sexton is in strong individual form and should be in the mix for the Player of the Match should the Dragons prevail this weekend.

Scoring tries in three of his last four games and also providing a try assist in that time, Sexton is an attacking threat and he’s good value to win the individual accolade in this one.
