190 days later, Super League is back at Brutus ! The Dragons face Salford in the Super League Round 3 on Saturday 17th April at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium, kick-off at 6pm CET. Match live on beIN SPORTS 3 and Sky Sports.
For the second time of their history after 2012, Catalans Dragons have launched their season with 3 wins in a row. Thanks to victories over Hull KR and Huddersfield, the Dragons are currently in blistering form before hosting Salford.
On their side, Salford’s 2 league fixtures haven’t been easy following defeats against St Helens and Hull FC. The Red Devils are looking to reach their first 2 points of the season even if they did well last week after a confortable victory in Challenge Cup over Widnes Vikings.
