Key Points
- One midweek game in Super League on Tuesday
- Robins battle Wolves in game in hand
- Rovers to move into third spot?
There is a rare midweek game taking place on Tuesday evening with defending champions Hull Kingston Rovers taking on Warrington Wolves as the race for a top two finish intensifies.
This match is actually a round two encounter after Hull KR were forced to postpone the original tie due to their World Club Challenge clash against NRL champions Brisbane Broncos.
This date was the only one that could accommodate the game and both teams will be desperate to gain two valuable Super League competition points.
There will only be this game featured on this page with my betting tips and special offers. Take a look and see if you agree with my predictions.

Hull Kingston Rovers vs Warrington Wolves - Tuesday, August 18th - 20:00 BST
This is a midweek treat for rugby league fans and rugby league bettors. Defending champions Hull Kingston Rovers are currently down in fifth position with 30 points, while Warrington Wolves are third with 32 points. Victory for the Robins will see them leapfrog Wakefield Trinity and Warrington into third place on points difference, while Warrington will move two points behind joint leaders Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors. Hull KR have been handed a massive boost with Mikey Lewis returning to action following his four-match suspension, he is expected to start the game. Arthur Mourgue also returns after three weeks out with a broken thumb, as Willie Peters could name his strongest spine for only the fifth time this season. The Wolves welcome back Kelepi Tanginoa and Liam Byrne back into the matchday squad, but Cai Taylor-Wray and Lachlan Webster will not feature after playing in the reserves at the weekend. Hull KR have not been at their best this season, but they cannot be written off. I am backing Lewis to return with a bang and guide the champions to a much-needed win over a top three club. Victory over Warrington will give the Robins confidence heading into the final weeks of the season as they look to retain their title. I am backing Hull KR to edge out the Wolves by 6-10 points. When it comes to try scorers, I am backing Lewis and Joe Burgess to score for the Robins and Matty Ashton to score for the Wire.

Betfred Super League Betting Offers
There has been reports that
Betfred will be ending their partnership with Super League, but for now they are the principal sponsor of Super League, so it makes sense that they are running a couple of special offers every week. Below is the Betfred offers that will go hand in hand with Super League this season. These will obviously change each week, but it is a good starting point when it comes to
Super League betting sites.
Rhinos On The Charge
Leeds Rhinos are currently top of the Super League ladder on points difference after losing to Leigh Leopards last weekend. Can they keep Wigan Warriors at bay and stay top of the ladder before moving on to Old Trafford to win the Grand Final? Betfred has them at 13/8 to win the Super League Grand Final for a ninth time.
