Hull KR Host Hull FC in Derby With Shield in Sight

Pre‑match consensus heavily favours KR because of dominant form plus FC absences.

Overview

  • The derby kicks off at 3.05pm at Craven Park and will be shown live on Sky Sports+.
  • After Wigan’s win over St Helens on Friday, KR cannot seal the League Leaders’ Shield today but a victory would leave them on the brink.
  • Hull FC need a result to keep their top‑six hopes alive in a campaign complicated by injuries and suspensions.
  • Betting markets strongly lean to the hosts, with KR around 1‑16 and FC close to 8‑1 with Betfred.
  • Form and personnel point to Rovers: 20 wins from 24 league games, five straight victories over FC this fixture, Jared Waerea‑Hargreaves returns, Rhye Martin serves a two‑match ban and Micky McIlorum is out, while FC remain short‑handed.
