There have been some iconic clashes between St Helens and Leeds Rhinos over the years and it should be another thrilling Super League encounter between the sides on Friday night.

It's no surprise to see reigning Super League champions St Helens as the favourites going into the game on home soil.

The Merseyside outfit are 2/7 to win in the 80 minutes, while Leeds are 11/4 to claim another scalp after beating rivals Wigan Warriors 8-0 last time out.

For Friday's clash to go to a nail-biting golden point, the draw is currently available at 25/1.

St Helens vs Leeds Rhinos Team News

Neither St Helens or Leeds picked up any significant new injuries or suspensions in their last outings.

Rhinos' head coach Richard Agar has been plagued by injuries for much of the campaign, with the likes of Luke Gale and Liam Sutcliffe on the sidelines.

However, players have been returning from spells out, with Konrad Hurrell featuring against Wigan, and the likes of Alex Mellor and King Vuniyaya pushing for a return against Saints.

St Helens were able to put out a youthful side in their last game against Salford Red Devils, and will be the fresher of the two teams on Friday night.
