THE TEAM NEWS
SALFORD RED DEVILS
- Salford Red Devils put in one of their better performances of the season as they pushed unbeaten Wigan Warriors all the way but they suffered a heart-breaking loss late in the contest as former player Jackson Hastings slotted a drop goal to separate the teams.
- Richard Marshall will feel that is the blueprint for how he wants his side to perform as they defended well but they will still need to show improvements with the ball having surpassed 18 points in just one of their seven Super League outings to date.
21-man squad: Aspey, Atkin, Burgess, Burke, Escare, Greenwood, Ikahihifo, Lannon, Livett, Lolohea, Luckley, Lussick, Mossop, Ormondroyd, Patton, Roberts, Sio, Taylor, Watkins, Wells, Williams
Unavailable: Andy Ackers, Matty Costello, Dan Sarginson, Kevin Brown, Pauli Pauli, Danny Addy, Elliot Kear
Questionable: Joe Burgess
WARRINGTON WOLVES
- Warrington Wolves put their disappointing display against Huddersfield Giants behind them by running out comfortable winners over Castleford Tigers at the weekend and they will be eager to build on that impressive attacking display.
- With the scores locked at 10-10, Warrington racked up 28 unanswered points to pull away from their opponents and they are now averaging a touch under 29 points per game with them scoring more points than any other Super League side so far.
21-man squad: Akauola, Austin, Butler, Charnley, D. Clark, J. Clark, Cooper, Currie, Davis, Hill, Hughes, King, Lineham, Mamo, Mulhern, Philbin, Ratchford, Roebuck, Thewlis, Walker, Widdop

THE PREDICTION
Salford Red Devils came agonisingly close to earn just their second Super League win of the campaign as they pushed Wigan Warriors all the way but they ultimately fell short to a late drop goal. Despite the defeat, the Red Devils will be buoyed by their efforts in that contest and they will need to replicate what they produced in that game as they take on the league’s top scorers in Warrington Wolves. The away side were impressive winners over Castleford Tigers at the weekend and their superior scoring ability should ensure that they come away with another victory here.
