Predictions, betting tips, and odds for the Betfred Super League matches: Leigh vs Huddersfield, Salford vs Wakefield, St Helens vs Castleford, and Wigan vs Leeds
The Super League action continues to thrill fans as we approach the final stages of the season. Here's a round-up of the key matches happening this Friday, September 19.
In Laval, Québec, the Bois-de-Boulogne Sports Center will host the third-place playoff between Montreal Roses and Halifax Tides. However, there's no clear information on which TV station will broadcast this exciting encounter.
Meanwhile, Wakefield Trinity's trip to Salford now seems like a dead-rubber affair, with Trinity securing the sixth and final playoff spot following Hull FC's defeat by Catalans Dragons. Wakefield will face either Leigh or Leeds in their playoff eliminator next week.
In the Salford Community Stadium, Salford Red Devils will host Wakefield Trinity at 8pm. On the other hand, Wigan Warriors will face Leeds Rhinos at the Brick Community Stadium, also at 8pm.
Leeds Rhinos are looking to leapfrog Wigan Warriors in their match, but they will be without several key players, including Jake Connor, Ryan Hall, Lachie Miller, Andy Ackers, Ash Handley, Alfie Edgell, Ethan Clark-Wood, Maiko Sivo, and Cameron Smith. This could potentially open the door for Wigan, with Jai Field, who has scored six tries in his last four matches, a strong candidate to open the scoring.
Meanwhile, Trinity will likely be cautious in their approach against bottom-side Salford who are playing in their final top-flight fixture for the foreseeable future.
St Helens will finish fifth regardless of their home clash with Castleford Tigers, but the only thing left to settle is who finishes third and fourth. If Leigh Leopards win their home clash with Huddersfield Giants, they could potentially end Leeds's hopes of finishing third.
Elsewhere, Hull KR secured the League Leaders' Shield with a victory over Warrington on Thursday. In the corresponding fixture between Leigh Leopards and Huddersfield Giants last term, Leigh won 38-0.
Sky Sports will broadcast all these thrilling matches, ensuring fans don't miss a moment of the action. With four matches of the Super League regular season still to come, the race for the playoffs is heating up. Stay tuned for more updates!
