Wigan Warriors vs Hull FC prediction
Wigan Warriors did a professional job away at Castleford Tigers, winning 16-26 as their attack proved simply too good for the Tigers. Matt Peet will hope to see something similar against Hull FC, who gave up 20 points vs a fighting Bradford Bulls last time out but had enough offensive juice to win by seven points.
Any team coming to the Brick Community Stadium this season is in for a long 80 minutes against this Wigan side and Hull FC will be underdogs. The Warriors know their players should break through the Hull FC defence put tries on the board if they click quickly and there’s no reason to think that they won’t. Back Wigan to record a second Super League win.
