Hull KR v Salford Red Devils: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Hull KR’s pursuit of the League Leaders' Shield continues on Friday night when they host Salford Red Devils at Craven Park in Super League.

Winning 18 of their 23 games in the competition so far this season, head coach Willie Peters has turned Rovers into serious title contenders this year.

Before a highly-anticipated showdown with second-place Wigan Warriors next week, Super League frontrunners Hull KR must first negotiate their way past Salford Red Devils.

Salford earned a 17-10 win over Rovers in their last Super League meeting, but that was at AJ Bell Stadium in March and the Red Devils have been struggling on the road in recent weeks.

Hull KR got revenge for that defeat in Salford later in March with a 40-0 Challenge Cup win over the Red Devils at Craven Park and another one-sided affair might well be on the cards on Friday night.

Hull KR v Salford Red Devils betting tips and predictions

Hull KR -14.5 handicap - 10/11

While a tighter contest is expected to the Challenge Cup meeting between these sides in their last encounter, Hull KR should still win this one convincingly.

As mentioned, Salford have had their troubles on the road of late, having lost all of their last four away games in Super League.

Craven Park has not been a happy hunting ground for the Red Devils over the years, as Hull KR have won all of their last six home games against Salford in all competitions.

The Robins are short-price favourites to claim the two points on Friday night and pull clear of Wigan at the top of the Super League standings.

There is certainly more value to be had looking at the handicap market and Peters’ side look capable of falling on the right side of the -14.5 spread on offer here.

Hull KR to win with a -14.5 handicap would have landed in all of their last five outings in Super League, as they have been blowing away teams on their seven-match winning streak.

The hosts can overcome the handicap here to take another step closer to the League Leaders' Shield.

Mikey Lewis anytime tryscorer - 21/20

Hull KR’s leading tryscorer in Super League this season is Mikey Lewis, who has touched down 15 times in the competition this term.

That puts Lewis in third place in the tryscoring standings for the season, with only Wigan’s Liam Marshall (22) and Warrington Wolves’ Matt Dufty (17) scoring more.

Lewis has scored tries in six of Hull KR’s last seven games in what has been a tremendous run of form for a player who is still just 23 years old.

With odds of 21/20 and given his currently tryscoring record, look to Lewis to add to his try tally on Friday night.

Ryan Hall first tryscorer - 7/1

Experienced winger Ryan Hall continues to do the business in Super League this season, with the 36-year-old scoring 13 tries in the competition already this term.

In two of the last four games in all competitions between these sides, Hall has crossed over for the opening try of the match, including in their last meeting in the Challenge Cup.

With 7/1 on offer for Hall to bag the first try on Friday, it’s certainly worth considering given his recent record against the Red Devils.
