Leigh Leopards vs Wigan Warriors prediction
Leigh Leopards remain scorching hot and having shot up the table, are not currently battling for position inside the top six following five straight Super League victories. But Wigan Warriors represent their biggest challenge in recent weeks, with eight consecutive wins following their Challenge Cup success.
If anyone team is capable of pouring ice on Leigh’s incredible run, it would be Wigan, especially with so many key players back fit. Their defence has been excellent for a significant period of time now and you always expect a high volume of points from Matt Peet’s side. With that in mind, back the Warriors to defeat their neighbours.
