Ahead of our rugby league betting tips, we look to the crucial Super 8s match between Hull FC and Wakefield Trinity with both teams locked in a four way battle with St Helens and Wigan Warriors for two Semi-Final spots as the Super League season near its climax. Hull go into the game occupying the final position and know that a win will all but secure their passage through but a loss will give them just a slim hope going into the final Super 8s game next week. Wakefield will be kicking themselves after losing a close match with St Helens last time out, that could have put them a win away from the Semi-Finals heading into this week’s game. Whoever wins this mini battle will be confident in securing their place and will be looking to carry their momentum forward as they look to pick up a Super League title.

Key Players to Watch

Experience will play a big part in this match, and big games need big players and Hull’s Gareth Ellis will be hoping to finish his career on a high with his impending retirement. He will be a big influence on his team and has been a key player across the league for over 5 seasons at the club. Danny Kirmond is as experienced as they come for Wakefield and will be keen to assert the right pressure on his team knowing that a win will all but seal their Semi-Final place.

Both Teams Recent Form

Both teams had setbacks last weekend with Hull FC falling to a 30-22 defeat to Wigan that saw their opponents leapfrog them in the table. That made it a three game losing skid and they will want to arrest that to have any hopes of a Semi-Final place. Wakefield are another team that have struggled for consistency with a loss last time out to rivals St Helens that stopped their progress after a strong performance previously at Salford Red Devils. It’s all on the line as both these teams go head-to-head.

Hull FC VS Wakefield Trinity Head-to-Head

This season there has been two matches between the sides with Hull FC coming out on top in both games. The early season clash saw a tight contest edged by the away side before the later season clash was more comfortable for Hull FC and they will have the memories of that to look back on. Over their last 10 meetings, the head-to-head is also in Hulls favour with 6 wins on the bounce, with three Wakefield wins and a draw previous to that.

Hull FC VS Wakefield Trinity Prediction

We are now at the most crucial point of the season for all teams as they look to secure their Semi-Final spot and a chance to win a Super League title and for our latest rugby league tonight predictions, there are a number of factors that point towards a Hull FC win that will all but secure their Semi-Final spot. Home advantage has been key for Hull FC for a number of years and they haven’t lost since 2014 at the KCOM Stadium which along with their two wins over Wakefield this season, points to a home win.

With two other teams still battling for the final two Semi-Final spots, the nerves are going to be there and it’s whoever is able to handle the pressure of the day, that will come out on top and all but secure a place in the latter stages of the Super League season.
