THE PREDICTION
Bitter rivals Wigan and St Helens meet in the Rival Round and it is the visitors who are favoured to get the win here. Both teams are coming off disappointing losses last time out but the Saints will be eager to get back to winning ways and close the gap on Catalan Dragons at the top. They have won seven of the last eight meetings between the two and while they will have to do without the suspended Tommy Makinson, they still have enough of an edge to take the points.
