Catalans Dragons vs Salford Red Devils: Kick-off time, TV channel and predicted line-ups

If Salford are going to make the play-offs, this is absolutely the kind of game they have to win.

Catalans away is notoriously a tough place to go but Salford cannot afford to drop points at this stage of the season and there may be a real opening for them to upset the apple cart in France this week.

This is as the Dragons have been very inconsistent recently as they deal with a high number of absentees. There’s certainly a real chance for the Reds to keep winning and make a real statement in the play-off race.

Kick-off time and TV channel

The game kicks off at 18:00 UK time.

There will be no live TV coverage but BBC will show highlights on the Super League Show.

Predicted Line-ups

Salford Red Devils
Once again, Salford are only able to name a 19-man squad with Greg Burke, Shane Wright and Harvey Livett all absent. Tyler Dupree will surely start at prop then alongside Jack Ormondroyd with Alex Gerrard at loose-forward. Sam Luckley and Ryan Lannon will subsequently start on the bench.

Catalans Dragons
Catalans will have to ask Arthur Mourgue to play in the halves with Mitchell Pearce absent but his spot on the bench will be taken by Alrix Da Costa thanks to Ben Garcia’s return to 13. Gil Dudson and Mickael Goudemand will both also return to add strength to the bench as Fouad Yaha returns to the wing.
