Leigh Leopards vs Wakefield Trinity Prediction
Leigh Leopards have momentum firmly in their favour heading into the play-offs with four straight wins to end the regular season. Three of those four victories came at home, underlining the fortress that is Leigh Sports Village and how difficult it will be for Wakefield Trinity to get the better of Adrian Lam’s side on their own patch.
Wakefield were winners on the road against Leigh back in March but since then, Lam’s men have overcome them twice, both in Super League and the Challenge Cup. This is a strong Leigh team with an excellent mix of power and speed who will be extremely tough to contain. With that in mind, the expectation is that the hosts will come out on top.
