The Stade Gilbert Brutus has not been a happy hunting ground for Leeds over the years but the Rhinos will be hoping to put that right when they take on Catalans Dragons in Perpignan on Saturday night.
Currently on a six-game winning streak, the Rhinos are sitting pretty at the top of Super League ahead of this clash with eighth-place Catalans.
Catalans have been inconsistent this season and high-flying Leeds have an opportunity to come back across the Channel with a rare scalp against the Dragons.
Catalans Dragons v Leeds Rhinos Tips Summary
Best Bet - Leeds Rhinos -16.5 handicap @ 1/1
Alternative Bet - Maika Sivo two or more tries @ 6/5
Bet Builder - Ash Handley, Brodie Croft & Lachie Miller anytime tryscorers @ 11/1
Catalans Dragons v Leeds Rhinos Prediction
Best Bet: Leeds Rhinos -16.5 handicap @ 1/1
Brimming with confidence on the back of a six-game winning streak in Super League, it’s a confident Rhinos outfit who head to Perpignan this weekend.
Head coach Brad Arthur has spoken of Leeds’ desire to end their wait for a victory at the Stade Gilbert Brutus, having last triumphed at the ground in the play-offs back in 2022.
Since then, the Rhinos have played three times at this venue and have failed to score a single point, but that should change on Saturday.
Leeds earned a 46-4 win when they hosted Catalans in Headingley earlier this season and the Rhinos are backed to win and cover the -16.5 handicap again in this one.
Alternative Bet: Maika Sivo two or more tries @ 6/5
Maika Sivo has been a tryscoring machine this season, with the Fijian already touching down a remarkable 28 times in just 16 appearances.
The Rhinos backline are doing all they can to make sure Sivo finishes with as high a tally as possible and it would be little surprise to see him bag at least a brace in the hot conditions in Perpignan this weekend.
Sivo has scored two or more tries in three of his last four games and can repeat the feat at the Stade Gilbert Brutus.
Catalans Dragons v Leeds Rhinos Bet Builder Tip
Ash Handley anytime tryscorer
Brodie Croft anytime tryscorer
Lachie Miller anytime tryscorer
Pays 11/1
With Leeds in freescoring form at present, Ash Handley, Brodie Croft and Lachie Miller are backed in the anytime tryscorer market in this three-fold Bet Builder.
Both Handley and Croft scored when Leeds hosted the Dragons in Headingley back in April and can strike again on Saturday.
Miller has been limited in the tryscoring department this season but he has 17 Super League tries to his name from full-back.
Looking to hit the line in the wide channels, Miller will be a threat and he’s great value to go over for the Rhinos on Saturday night.
