THE TEAM NEWS
WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors made it two wins from two with a solid victory over Leeds Rhinos last week as Jai Field once again stole the show with another eye-catching performance and they look like they will be difficult to beat this year.
- Matty Peet will have been delighted with his side’s second half performance in particular last week and the head coach is able to name an unchanged squad for this contest with minimal, if any, changes expected to the 17 he picked against the Rhinos.
21-man squad: 2 Jake Bibby, 3 Zak Hardaker, 5 Liam Marshall, 6 Cade Cust, 7 Thomas Leuluai, 8 Brad Singleton, 9 Sam Powell, 10 Patrick Mago, 11 Willie Isa, 12 Liam Farrell, 13 John Bateman, 14 Morgan Smithies, 15 Kaide Ellis, 16 Harry Smith, 17 Oliver Partington, 20 Liam Byrne, 21 Kai Pearce-Paul, 22 Joe Shorrocks, 23 Jai Field, 24 Abbas Miski, 28 Brad O’Neill
Unavailable: Bevan French, Ethan Havard, Iain Thornley

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS
- Huddersfield Giants backed up their win over Toulouse by seeing off Hull KR last week with their first half effort in that contest going a long way to the Giants getting the job done having kept their opponents scoreless at the break.
- The Giants extended their lead to 20-0 early in the second half but took their foot off the gas and will need to produce an 80-minute effort this week, especially as key duo Theo Fages and Danny Levi have copped bans.
21-man squad: 1 Will Pryce, 2 Jermaine McGillvary, 4 Ricky Leutele, 5 Ashton Golding, 6 Tui Lolohea, 8 Chris Hill, 10 Michael Lawrence, 11 Josh Jones, 12 Chris McQueen, 13 Luke Yates, 14 Matty English, 15 Joe Greenwood, 17 Owen Trout, 18 Sebastine Ikahihifo, 19 Adam O’Brien, 20 Oliver Wilson, 21 Leroy Cudjoe, 22 Louis Senior, 23 Oliver Russell, 25 Innes Senior, 27 Jack Ashworth
Unavailable: Jack Cogger, Jake Wardle, Theo Fages, Danny Levi
Questionable: Will Pryce, Ashton Golding, Jack Ashworth
THE PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors and Huddersfield Giants are two of five teams to win both of their Super League games so far this season but something will have to give in this contest. The Warriors have been the more impressive of the two so far and will be looking to make the DW Stadium a fortress this campaign. They can make it three straight wins by overcoming the Giants in this clash with the absence of Theo Fages and Danny Levi likely to be too much for the away side to deal with and it should be a sixth consecutive victory for Wigan against Huddersfield.
