Sunday 30th August, 16:15, Super League Round 10, Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington, Huddersfield Giants versus Hull FC
Despite just two points separating the Giants and Hull in the table (Huddersfield in fifth, Hull in eighth), the fortunes of both sides are largely different. Whilst Huddersfield have improved massively in 2020, FC continues to disappoint with new boss Andy Last not having the best of starts as Salford were on top form in a 54-18 in the club’s first game back.

Coach: Andy Last
When Huddersfield last played Hull this time last year, the Giants ran out 22-8 winners. In fact, Huddersfield have won four of their last five against the Airlie Birds.
If Aidan Sezer is back fit after limping off in Huddersfield’s narrow loss to Warrington, then the Giants are likely to have too much for a Hull side that desperately needs a change in culture. Huddersfield by 6.
