London Broncos vs Salford Red Devils Prediction: Both teams have to improve

London Broncos and Salford Red Devils will meet in a week 8 encounter of the Betfred Super League at The Cherry Red Records Stadium. Heading into this game, both teams are off a defeat in their respective game. Which side will return to winning ways here?

London Broncos were heavily defeated by Hull KR last time out, suffering a 50-10 loss to Hull KR. In that game, the London Broncos had a slow start, as they were 40-10 behind at the end of the first half. However, despite an improved defensive play in the second half of the game, they still lost 10-6 in that second half. In the meantime, London Broncos have now seen themselves lose all of their last eight games in a row, while they remain without a win in as many as 11 consecutive matches. Heading into this game, the London Broncos are seated in the bottom spot of the league standings with zero points this season from seven games.

Salford Red Devils have been inconsistent this season, and heading into this game, the visiting team will have to improve their play. The previous time out, Salford Red Devils were defeated by Castleford in a 36-24 on the road. In that game, Salford Red Devils were behind 18-14 at halftime, and even in the second half, they still failed to step up as they lost 18-10. In the meantime, Salford Red Devils have won two games in their last five matches, coming against St Helens and Leigh. However, they lost two other encounters to Wigan Warriors and Hull KR in other encounters. So far this season, the Salford Red Devils have pulled off 8 points, scoring 151 goals while conceding 154.

The Salford Red Devils have always dominated this fixture, and they have come in as heavy favorites again. While the London Broncos have been playing below par, I do not think they will have it easy to enjoy a win, even at home. I am looking at the odds, and I think that the London Broncos will do well to cover the spread here, as the Red Devils have not been that good too. Also, while I think there will be a lot of defensive play here, a bet on a few goals can also be considered.
