THE PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors and St. Helens will complete the Good Friday rugby league schedule in what is an intriguing battle between the fierce rivals. Both teams will believe they can prevail having each won their last three matches in Super League. There is little to split this pair and it could well be a very close affair with points hard to come by so back a low-scoring affair which produces under 40.5 points.
