Wakefield Trinity vs St. Helens prediction
Wakefield Trinity’s long winning run was finally brought to an end by Leeds Rhinos in a thrilling Yorkshire derby just over a week ago. Whilst a tough break for Daryl Powell’s men, they still find themselves in fourth-place at the time of writing and in an excellent spot heading into the final few weeks of the regular season. This fixture on paper, is an ideal one for them to get back to winning ways.
It's been a calamitous year for St. Helens and it got even worse last time out as they were turned over at home by lowly Hull FC. They are now outside the top six and in huge danger of missing out on the play-offs for the very first time. It’s just so difficult to see where their next win is coming from with the amount of injuries they have and the complete lack of confidence among the squad, so backing Wakefield Trinity to dominate this game and win comfortably is the sensible move.
