MATCHDAY PREVIEW
Clash of the top of the league in the Cup. It doesn’t get any better than it being a Hull Derby either.
Hull FC have lost their last seven as the home side but come into this off the back of three wins, including an amazing second half comeback against Wigan to knock the holders out of the cup.
On the other hand, Hull KR are unbeaten in 2024 and are demolishing anything in their path; they have only conceded 44 points in six league games.
The Black and Whites have named Will Pryce in the squad which will be a massive addition if he takes the shape and the field. FC are also boosted with Hardaker and Aydin back, while Kemp returns to the squad. Cade Cust is a massive out through HIA while Watts is cup tied and has a calf issue.
The first Challenge Cup game between the two sides in 39 years is set to be a massive clash, but the unbeaten Robins should take it in a close one.
MATCHDAY PREDICTION
Hull Kingston Rovers by 6 points.
