Key Stat
Leeds were dominant in their two wins against Huddersfield last season which included beating the Giants to nil on their own turf last August. However, the Giants stunned Catalans in round one with a very impressive display in Perpignan and look a different proposition this term.
Prediction
After an impressive win in Perpignan against Catalans Dragons, Huddersfield look like the favourites heading into this one with Leeds convincingly beaten at home by Hull FC in their round one fixture. Should Simon Woolford’s men play as well as they did in France, they should have no problem dispatching the Rhinos.
