St Helens v Hull KR: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Hull KR have every chance of winning this season's League Leaders' Shield in Super League, and they will look to prove their title credentials when they take on St Helens on Saturday afternoon.

The Robins are top of the standings thanks to their superior points difference, but they are level at the summit with Wigan Warriors.

Both teams are two points clear of third-placed Warrington Wolves, while hosts St Helens are fourth and nervously looking over their shoulder at those teams chasing a playoff spot.

St Helens v Hull KR betting tips and predictions

Hull KR to win - 8/13

Hull KR's fanbase are living the dream this season under coach Willie Peters, and they will hope their fairytale can continue.

While their mindset will have changed throughout the season, the Robins' fans will still be happy that they are top of the table with just five matches remaining.

With neighbours Hull FC languishing towards the bottom of the table, everything is going right for the Robins, and they could be about to add some more memories to their stunning campaign.

Hull KR have not won at St Helens since 2013, but all the signs suggest they will get the job done this weekend.

The Robins have won six in a row in Super League, and they come into the game on the back of a 36-4 success over Catalans Dragons at Magic Weekend.

Saints were unable to score a point in their 20-0 defeat to Wigan at Elland Road, and they have already lost 40-20 to Peters' men this season.

Hull KR are playing with no fear in recent months, and they should be able to finally end their wait for a victory at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Over 34.5 points - 1/1

St Helens have found life difficult at times this season, and injuries have certainly played their part this summer. Paul Wellens has given opportunities to youngsters throughout the campaign, and they will become better players thanks to their experiences this season.

Wellens has recalled Jonny Lomax and Sione Mata'utia to his squad, as well as youngster George Whitby this week, and that should certainly help them in key areas.

Saints know they will be up against it for 80 minutes, and Hull KR will look to bully them at every opportunity. Wellens' side may opt to take a kick at goal whenever they win a penalty, as they try to build into the game.

While St Helens should come out firing in defence, this game looks primed to be a high-scoring affair. Hull KR are the top try scorers in the division with 107 efforts so far, and the recent meetings between the pair have all been high scoring.

The line is set at 34.5 for Saturday's battle, and five of the last six meetings have covered that with ease.

Mikey Lewis to score anytime - 15/8

Robins halfback Lewis has enjoyed himself this season under Peters, and he has scored 14 tries already with five weeks remaining of the campaign.

Lewis is the heartbeat of the Hull KR team, and he has scored tries in his team's last three games against the Saints.

He has also scored in five of Hull KR's last six matches in Super League, so it makes sense to back him during his purple patch.
