Team News

Castleford could name the same side that defeated London 34-20 last time out. Daniel Hindmarsh-Takyi dropped out for that victory, being replaced by Sam Hall, who will be eager to keep his place.

Catalans may also stick with the team that overcome Salford 20-0, with Fouad Yaha, Micky McIlorum and Loan Castano all coming back in for that success.

Jordan Abdull, Franck Maria and Yacine Ben Abdeslem were the trio that missed out last time and they will be pushing to get back into the mix.

Castleford Tigers vs Catalans Dragons Odds

Castleford are 9/5 to record just their sixth Super League victory of the campaign, with the draw priced at 18/1 and Catalans the firm 4/9 favourites to extend their winning streak to four matches.

First Half Winner - Catalans @ 4/6

Priced at 4/9, Catalans are expected to get the job done in Castleford on Sunday but there is not much value in backing the visitors in the full time result market and it may prove prudent to look at them to win the first half instead.

The Dragons head into this clash on a three-match winning, beating Huddersfield Giants, Hull KR and Salford Red Devils, and they have been leading at the break in all three of those assignments.

Steve McNamara's troops arrive full of confidence and they should be able to get out of the blocks quickly against a Castleford side that are just two places above rock-bottom London Broncos.

The Tigers have won their last two matches, overcoming St Helens and the Broncos, but they had lost three in a row before that and inconsistencies have hampered their season.

Castleford have been losing at half time in three of their last five matches and they could be in for more disappointment heading into the break on Sunday.

Winning Margin - Catalans 1-12 points @ 19/10

Neither side have been blowing opposition away of late and the 19/10 available on Catalans to win by 1-12 points looks appealing given the latest results.

In the Dragons' current three-game winning run, two of those victories have come by four points and one point, while the winning margin in five of their last six outings has been in the 1-12 bracket.

While Castleford have been inconsistent when it comes to results they have been competitive, even in defeat, with the 1-12 point winning margin bet landing in four of their last six matches.

The Tigers beat Hull FC 30-22 and St Helens 8-6, while they also lost 10-8 to Wigan and 13-12 to Hull KR.
