Hull Kingston Rovers v York Knights Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Hull Kingston Rovers have hit a recent rough patch but Friday night throws up a great opportunity to get back to winning ways in emphatic fashion when they host the York Knights at Craven Park.

On a nine-game winning streak heading into the Challenge Cup final last month, Rovers were stunned at Wembley with a 40-10 defeat to Wigan Warriors.

Hull KR endured a hangover following that loss in the capital, suffering a shock 26-24 defeat at Wakefield Trinity in their following Super League game.

Head coach Willie Peters will be determined to see his side stop the rot and Friday night offers a great chance for his men to do just that, against a Knights outfit who tend to struggle on their travels.

Best Bet - Hull Kingston Rovers -28.5 handicap @ Evs
Alternative Bet - Tyrone May anytime tryscorer @ 11/4
Bet Builder - Joe Burgess, Mikey Lewis & Jack Broadbent anytime tryscorer @ 7/2

Hull Kingston Rovers v York Knights Prediction

Best Bet: Hull Kingston Rovers -28.5 handicap @ Evs

After that humbling Challenge Cup final defeat and shock loss at Wakefield, Rovers will be looking for a reset in training this week.

York might just be the perfect next opponent for the Robins, with the Knights currently on a four-game losing streak in all competitions.

Losing all of their last five games on the road, York have struggled on their travels and it’s hard to see them making the trip back to North Yorkshire with anything to show for their efforts on Friday.

Hull KR inflicted a 48-10 defeat on the Knights when they met in April in the Challenge Cup and a similar scoreline, with the Robins covering the -28.5 handicap, looks to be in the offing here.

Alternative Bet: Tyrone May anytime tryscorer @ 11/4

A tryscorer last time out against Wakefield, while providing two try assists against Trinity, Tyrone May comes into this match in good individual form.

Scoring a hat-trick in that win against York in the Challenge Cup earlier this season, May to bag at least one try on Friday night has to be worthy of consideration at 11/4.
