Wakefield Trinity vs Wigan Warriors prediction
With Bevan French back in the fold, Wigan Warriors become even stronger than they already are, which certainly bodes well for them heading into a stern test away to Wakefield Trinity. The hosts are above Wigan in the table with nine wins from 13 Super League fixtures, underlining how good a team they are this campaign.
But Wigan are a different animal when their very best players are available. French is such an incredible player, that he drives up the levels of the entire team and on the back of two big wins we should see a very strong Warriors performance here. Backing them to pick up an important away win is a move worth making.
