Catalans Dragons vs Warrington Wolves prediction
With three wins from their last three games in Perpignan, Catalans Dragons have done a great job making their home a fortress. However, Joel Tomkins leaving his role as head coach for personal reasons risks rocking the boat for an inconsistent Dragons side capable of excellence, but also prone to bad performances, as we saw in their Challenge Cup quarter-final thrashing away to St. Helens.
Despite being at home, Warrington Wolves are a bad side to face on the back of losing your head coach. The Wire have been a force throughout the season so far in Super League, winning five from six and also reaching the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup. Whilst injuries are a concern, they boast a high amount of strength-in-depth and are worth backing to dig out a narrow win on the road.
