Huddersfield Giants vs Wigan Warriors prediction
Wigan Warriors’ victory at home to Warrington Wolves last time out made it six in a row for them in Super League since their Challenge Cup final triumph over Hull KR. It’s been a fantastic run for Matt Peet’s side who haven’t conceded more than 20 points across all of those victories. It certainly doesn’t bode well for Huddersfield Giants, who did pull of one of the shocks of the season when they beat Wigan at the Brick Community Stadium earlier in the year.
Completing a remarkable double over the Warriors however, is extremely unlikely when considering Wigan’s current form and how they are playing. Huddersfield have lost each of their last 11 matches in all competitions heading into this one, and Wigan will be expected to make that 12 in comprehensive fashion.
