THE PREDICTION

Castleford Tigers come into this clash with local rivals Wakefield having won their last two games while they will also be buoyed by the fact they have not lost to them since 2015. While it will likely end up being too little too late for the Tigers, their wins over Leeds and St. Helens in the last two games will give them a major boost, and their confidence will be high as they welcome Wakefield here. The visitors snapped their own five-game losing streak by shocking Warrington Wolves last time out but it is hard to see them replicating that here. Expect Cas to canter to a convincing victory.
