Saints take on Huddersfield Giants at Emerald Headingley Stadium on Friday with kick off at 6pm and we have all the information you need right here in our match preview!
BACKGROUND…
Saints head into this one on the back of four straight wins following the restart. That run of form means Saints sit second in the Super League table, two points behind Wigan.
Huddersfield have perhaps been rather unfortunate since the restart. They are without a win in three having lost by just a point against Warrington and Leeds a week later. Their latest defeat was a 31-12 defeat to Hull FC. The Giants are, like Saints, without a number of regular starters with forwards Ukuma Ta’ai out for the season, Suaia Matagi is suspended, Aaron Murphy is out with a shoulder injury and former Saint Lee Gaskell is also missing.
FANS?
The game is again being played behind closed doors with no fans. We do however have a select few Totally Wicked Saints Fans, representing us on Sky Sports Live Broadcast! Look out for your chance to represent the Saints at future Behind Closed Doors games.
