Super League Round 27 Predictions 2026: Best Handicap Tips


The final round of the Super League regular season brings several interesting handicap opportunities, with Wakefield backed to challenge Leigh and Bradford given enough of a start to stay close to York. At the other end of the market, Wigan face a huge 34.5-point line against Catalans.

Here are our Super League Round 27 predictions and handicap tips for every game.

York Knights vs Bradford Bulls


Prediction: York Knights
Handicap Tip: Bradford Bulls +10.5 (1.90 @ Bet365)

York are the more reliable side and should control more of the territory, particularly against a Bradford team that ranks worst in the competition for both errors and penalties. However, Bradford showed much better energy against Castleford and should create enough opportunities against an inconsistent York defence to stay competitive. York to win, but Bradford +10.5 gets the handicap nod.

Leeds Rhinos vs Hull FC


Prediction: Leeds Rhinos
Handicap Tip: Hull FC +24.5 (1.91 @ Dabble)

Leeds should win this through their superior consistency, metres and offload game, but 24.5 points is a huge line. Hull have enough size to compete through the middle and their kicking game can help them stay in the territory battle, while uncertainty around the Leeds lineup adds another reason to take the start. Leeds to win, but Hull FC +24.5 looks safer against the handicap.

Leigh Leopards vs Wakefield Trinity


Prediction: Wakefield Trinity
Handicap Tip: Wakefield Trinity +10.5 (1.91 @ BetGoodwin)

Wakefield are being given 10.5 points despite having the stronger forward pack and greater impact from their rotations. Leigh's defence and discipline should keep this competitive, but Wakefield should find it easier to generate metres and attacking territory over 80 minutes. With Trinity also backed to win outright, Wakefield +10.5 is one of the standout handicap selections.

Warrington Wolves vs Toulouse Olympique


Prediction: Warrington Wolves
Handicap Tip: Toulouse Olympique +6.5 (1.90 @ Dabble)

Warrington should start strongly, but their recent habit of allowing opponents back into games makes the 6.5-point line difficult to trust. Toulouse have scored 32, 28 and 44 points across their last three matches and have enough size to trouble Warrington late. Warrington are the winner pick, but Toulouse +6.5 appeals against the handicap.

St Helens vs Hull KR

Prediction: Hull KR

Saints should produce plenty of effort in their final home game, but Hull KR have a considerable advantage through the middle. Their size and aggressive defence should make it difficult for Saints to generate enough field position, while KR should create far more opportunities at the other end. Hull KR are the pick to win.

Wigan Warriors vs Catalans Dragons


Prediction: Wigan Warriors
Handicap Tip: Catalans Dragons +34.5 (1.91 @ Bet365)

Wigan should dominate possession and territory against a Catalans side that has struggled badly for defensive consistency, but the market has reacted with an enormous 34.5-point line. Wigan should win comfortably and could threaten that number, but more than five converted tries is a substantial start. Wigan to win, with Catalans +34.5 narrowly preferred against the handicap.

Huddersfield Giants vs Castleford Tigers


Prediction: Huddersfield Giants
Handicap Tip: Huddersfield Giants -14.5 (1.90 @ BetGoodwin)

Huddersfield have won four of their last five and continue to improve through the middle, while Castleford have conceded 32, 34, 36 and 44 points in four of their last five. Huddersfield should have the better territory and attacking opportunities against the league's worst defence, making Giants -14.5 the preferred play.
