Wigan Warriors vs Catalans Dragons prediction
Wigan Warriors won’t be complacent here, head coach Matt Peet won’t let them be. Expect them to fly out of the blocks and immediately impose themselves on this game with a view to dominating the ball and pinning back Catalans Dragons. On the back of an incredible clutch performance and big win over League Leaders Shield rivals Leeds Rhinos, confidence could not be higher.
The Dragons surely won’t be able to keep up with the tempo set by Wigan, not to mention their speed and power. It will be a long 80 minutes for them and any outcome other than a high-scoring triumph by Wigan would be a shock.
