Challenge Cup betting tips: Leeds hosts triple header

The victory on Good Friday came at a cost for Saints though as they lost scrum-half Lewis Dodd with a season-ending ankle injury and his half-back partner Jonny Lomax went off with a bicep injury in last Friday’s win over Salford.

The champions have also lost utility back Will Hopoate which offers hope to Wigan, although they are missing Thomas Leuluai and Sam Powell.

In terms of the winning margin for Challenge Cup betting tips, the most likely option according to the odds is a Saints win by 6-10 points at 4/1.

In the #YourCall specials, the best way to back St Helens at a bigger price is 11/8 for them to score the first try, lead at half-time and win the match.

Huddersfield v Hull KR (5pm)

Hull KR boss Tony Smith has already announced he is leaving the club at the end of the season and a Challenge Cup win would be a happy ending.

Smith quit the game in 2017 but returned after being persuaded to join Hull KR in 2019 and rediscovered his love for the game, taking the Robins to within 80 minutes of a maiden Grand Final last October.

Hull KR are also now a game away from a first Challenge Cup final appearance for seven years but head to Elland Road as the 8/5 underdogs.

Smith’s former club Huddersfield are a point above Hull KR in the Super League table and are the 8/15 favourites despite having been on a three-match losing run prior to last week’s 14-12 victory over Wakefield.

The Giants won 26-12 in the league meeting in February and are 11/4 to win by 11-20 points once again.
