THE TEAM NEWS
WIGAN WARRIORS
- It is now five consecutive defeats for Wigan Warriors after they were defeated by local rivals St. Helens and despite showing more in defence against Saints, it was another underwhelming attacking display.
- The conditions were terrible in that game but their six points in that clash means that the Warriors have managed just 34 in their last five games and they will be desperate to fix those issues although they will have to do so without a host of players in this clash.
18-man squad: Bibby, Bullock, Byrne, Clark, Clubb, Farrell, Gildart, Hanley, Hastings, Leuluai, Marshall, McDonnell, O’Neill, Pearce-Paul, Powell, Shorrocks, Singleton, Smith
Unavailable: Jai Field, Bevan French, Zak Hardaker, Dom Manfredi, John Bateman, Morgan Smithies, Willie Isa, Oliver Partington, Ethan Havard

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS
- Huddersfield Giants lost for the fourth game in succession after they were blown away by Catalans Dragons last week and they are running out of time to climb up the table with the top six beginning to pull away.
- The Giants have been without numerous players for much of the season but they look particularly short in the spine with the likes of Aidan Sezer, Lee Gaskell and Adam O’Brien all missing but Nathaniel Peteru and Nathan Peats could debut here having arrived on loan from Leigh Centurions.
19-man squad: Ashall-Bott, Cudjoe, Gavet, Golding, Greenwood, Hewitt, Jones, Leutele, McGillvary, McQueen, Peats, Peteru, Pryce, Russell, Senior, Stevens, Ja. Wardle, Wood, Yates
Unavailable: Joe Wardle, Adam O’Brien, Michael Lawrence, Jack Cogger, Aidan Sezer, Matty English, James Cunningham, Darnell McIntosh, Lee Gaskell, Kenny Edwards, Oliver Wilson

THE PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors and Huddersfield Giants are both badly out of form but
something has to give here as the pair do battle at the DW Stadium.
Wigan went down to St. Helens last time out as their issues with the
ball continued while Huddersfield shipped 50 points against Catalans
Dragons. Both teams have some serious improvements to make here but with
points difficult to come by for the pair, this could be a scrappy,
low-scoring contest with no more than 44 points expected.
