Hull FC vs Toulouse Prediction: Hosts fancied to win big

Hull FC bid for back-to-back wins after a huge victory at Castleford last weekend, and are big favourites to do just that when struggling Toulouse come to town in Sunday's sole Betfred Super League game. (Kick-off 15:00 BST)

The Black and Whites ran in a half century last time out and face a French side who have lost seven on the spin since opening the campaign with two wins from two.

Team News

With Steve McNamara on his way as head coach next season to replace the now-departed John Cartwright, Andy Last remains in interim charge and makes four changes to the Hull squad this week.

In a first match back home at the MKM Stadium since Cartwright's controversial departure, Last has both Joe Batchelor and Harvey Barron back available after injury. Batchelor has managed just four games this year while Barron hasn't featured since round three.

Matty Laidlaw is also back after a dead leg while Lennon Clark is included.

Dropping out are prop Ligi Sao who failed a Head Injury Assessment in the big win at Cas, and brothers Callum and Lloyd Kemp who have been sent on loan to Goole.

England centre Harry Newman has had his loan from Leeds extended, as has fellow Rhino Jeremiah Mata'utia.

Toulouse boss Sylvain Houles makes just one change to accomodate former Hull man Joe Cator. Young French winger Mathieu Pons drops out this week.

Handicap 3-way Hull FC -22 @ 11/10

Last week was much more like it from Hull FC, arresting a troubling recent slide with a huge nine-try win at Castleford. And this feels like the perfect fixture to gather a bit of momentum and confidence against a Toulouse team who just can't stop losing.

The coaching chaos that saw Cartwright ousted and Steve McNamara lined up for next year definitely affected performances, but thankfully we trusted our instincts last week in backing a Hull revival in West Yorkshire. Backing Hull on the handicap and tries for Tigers flier Krystian Mapapalangi both paid off as our two selections landed, so let's see if we can continue our own good run this week.

Toulouse are capable of an upset - as they showed in winning their first two games, but luck has been against them since. Olympique have good players but are simply too weak defensively, with 117 points conceded in the three games in April.

Now they face a team who managed 50 points last week after a period of turmoil, so you wouldn't bet against another Hull field day over Bank Holiday weekend.

These sides last met in 2022 when Hull won all three games comfortably, by 26, 24 and 36 points respectively. So looking at a 22-point handicap feels like a decent one to trust.

Harry Newman anytime tryscorer @ 5/4
