Warrington Wolves vs Wigan Warriors prediction
Warrington Wolves were out of sorts in Perpignan last weekend and paid the price, going down 38-22 to Catalans Dragons. But that defeat wasn’t not as damaging as that suffered by Wigan Warriors, who for the second time this season were beaten by the side sitting bottom of the table at the time, in this case Castleford Tigers.
It’s clear that Wigan aren’t the same team without Bevan French and Harry Smith’s suspension has also had a huge impact based on what we saw last weekend. Warrington Wolves have problems of their own having lost their captain, but they appear to be in a better position to cover for that. Add the fact that home advantage is in the Wire’s favour and backing them to edge this one is worthwhile.
