St Helens vs Hull FC - Thursday, August 6th - 20:00 BST

St Helens and Hull FC are not the best two teams in Super League this season - far from it. The Saints are without a permanent head coach following the dismissal of Paul Rowley, while Hull FC have lost seven matches in succession and have not won in the league since beating Huddersfield Giants back on June 13. The Saints have suffered a lot of injuries this season, but they have George Whitby back after undergoing knee surgery in June. Matty Evans also returns after missing the loss at York Knights due to concussion protocols. Hull will be without Davy Litten after picking up an ankle problem, while Arthur Romano is expected to make his long awaited return from injury. Will Pryce, John Asiata, Sam Lisone, Ligi Sao, Brad Fash and Will Kirby remain out. Hull will struggle against the Saints, but without Litten the task has got even harder. Jack Welsby has been in the news recently about where his future lies, so he will be keen to show the fans that his heart is still with St Helens. I am backing the home team to come out top with an 11-15 points margin win. I have a feeling Welsby will score for the fourth game in succession to take his tally to double figures. I am also backing Harry Robertson and Jake Davies to cross for the Saints.
