Next up, round 21 of the Betfred Super League kicks off as Leeds Rhinos take on Leigh Leopards at Leigh Sports Village on Thursday night, kick off 8pm.

Here's your match preview for the fixture:

Opposition Overview

A dramatic 20-16 comeback win over Warrington last Friday night could prove to be one of the deciding games in the top six race as Leigh Leopards moved to within a point of second place in the table as they overcame the Wolves' challenge.

Adrian Lam's side were trailing 16-8 heading into the last ten minutes as a Umyla Hanley try was all the points the Leopards had to show for their efforts. A quick turnaround before the full-time whistle turned the tables as a second Hanley try and a score from Owen Trout saw the two league points head back to Leigh as their hunt for a home play-off game took another step. The result continues a current four-game winning streak for the Leopards as since their 48-30 loss to the Rhinos at AMT Headingley in June, they have since beaten Wigan, Hull KR and St Helens to maintain their place behind the Warriors and Robins in the league standings.

Hanley has been a try-scoring weapon for the Leopards with 11 tries to his name, along with Tesi Niu, who has impressed in his first season at the club. Lachlan Lam remains one of the sides main threats at half back with 28 try assists this Super League campaign, whilst full back Bailey Hodgson has been another starlet since his return to the UK after a spell with Newcastle Knights. England international Owen Trout leads the side's defensive efforts with 606 tries as the prop continues a stellar campaign so far.

This week's clash with the Rhinos is one of five home games for the Leopards in their last seven games of the season as they hope home advantage plays its role in helping them to a top-six finish. After facing Leeds, they head to Hull to take on the Black and Whites at the MKM Stadium before hosting Salford and Castleford at Leigh Sports Village. A fourth meeting against Warrington in 2025 is scheduled for round 25 and then St Helens and Huddersfield await in the closing stages of the regular season.
