The Giants have won four of their last six and have been particularly strong at home, beating Leigh 30-18, Catalans 42-20 and Hull FC 22-16 across their last three at the John Smith's Stadium.
Castleford, meanwhile, have conceded 32, 34, 36 and 44 points in four of their last five games and currently own one of the poorest defensive records in Super League.
Despite that, Under 50.5 is still worth a look. Huddersfield have enough control through the middle to win comfortably without necessarily turning this into a shootout.

Huddersfield Giants Form Analysis
Huddersfield's late-season revival has been one of the more positive stories of the run-in, with four wins from six despite last week's 36-6 defeat to Hull KR.
Their home form has been far stronger, scoring 94 points across wins over Leigh, Catalans and Hull FC, while their improved physicality through the middle has given them a much better platform.
Castleford Tigers Form Analysis
Castleford have lost three straight and five of their last six, with defence remaining the major issue.
They conceded 32 to Bradford, 34 to Catalans and 36 to St Helens across their last three matches. Their attack can still produce patches of quality, but they have struggled to stay in games once opponents begin dominating field position.
Huddersfield Giants vs Castleford Tigers Team News
Huddersfield are without Sam Halsall after he suffered a suspected broken leg against Hull KR, while Mathieu Cozza also misses out through injury.
Castleford welcome Daniel Sarbah back from suspension, while teenager Sam Grice could make his debut after being named in the squad.
Verdict
Huddersfield -14.5 is the main bet, with Under 50.5 also appealing if the Giants control the game without needing a huge total to cover.
