Huddersfield Giants VS Wakefield Trinity Super League Preview

4th August – 19:00 – John Smith’s Stadium, Huddersfield.

Having taken the final spot in the Super 8’s, Huddersfield Giants will be looking to go under the radar as they look to make up a five-point deficit on Salford City Red Devils, who sit in the final Semi-Final spot. Level on points with the Red Devils, Wakefield Trinity know that a win will give them a good start in over hauling the teams above them and winning the first title since 1968.

Key Players to Watch

The Giants have been indebted to centre Jermaine McGillvary and his 16 tries this season and know that he will need to continue his impressive season if Huddersfield have any chance of making the Semi-Finals. Winger Ben Jones-Bishop has been a dominant force in the tackle for Wakefield and added with his 17 tries so far this season, he continued form would give Trinity an excellent opportunity to make a run at the title.

Both Teams Recent Form

Ahead of our Huddersfield Giants VS Wakefield Trinity Super League betting odds, both sides form has been patchy and the Giants final regular game defeat to Hull FC could have cost them a place in the Super 8’s. Wakefield have struggled recently with five defeats from seven games and look to have lost their early season confidence and will need to pull it around if they are to make the Semi-Finals.

Huddersfield Giants VS Wakefield Trinity Head-to-Head

Having played each other twice this season, both teams have come out with a home win that could be pivotal in predicting this game. Wakefield have the better head-to-head in recent season with seven wins in their last 10 meetings with the Giants but home advantage could be huge for Huddersfield.
