Wigan Warriors vs Wakefield Trinity prediction
Daryl Powell has a big challenge on his hands to ensure that Wakefield Trinity don’t burn out following a memorable but exhausting season. Having been in and around the top four for multiple weeks, consecutive defeats has brought them down to earth including a surprise 16-46 loss to a St. Helens side who had won just one of six prior to that game.
Wigan Warriors meanwhile, are now level on points with Leeds Rhinos in the race for the League Leaders Shield following the latter’s loss to Leigh Leopards. Matt Peet’s men continue to march on though, with their win streak now at 12 matches across all competitions. They are catching an injury-hit Wakefield at the perfect time and are well worth backing via the handicap to inflict a third straight defeat upon Powell’s side.
