Both sides have started the Qualifiers with a win to ease the pressure to stay in the Super League but a loss for either side will ensure that they have work to do. Warrington look to be the form side and there is seemingly too much quality for them not to return to the Super League next season. Catalan Dragons also have an abundance of quality in their side but their regular season form deserted them and they need to address that quickly.

Ahead of our Warrington Wolves v Catalan Dragons odds, the form book suggests that the Wolves are best placed to put a marker down in the Qualifiers and have put together a run of form that will see them drive for momentum into next season. The Dragons will want to ensure that they pick up their form after a tough end to the regular season but will know they have the players to succeed and team ethic will enable another Super League season next year.
French International winger Vincent Duport has chipped in with 11 tries so far for the Dragons this season and is a key player for Catalan during the Qualifiers, where they will look to his experience in games against the Championship teams. On the opposite side of the pitch, Wolves winger Tom Lineham added his 16th try of the season in their win over Widnes and will be looking to add to his tally across the Qualifiers.
Before we get to our Super League odds, the form side going into the Qualifiers was Warrington Wolves with five wins in six games, their only loss coming to Warrington. Had they not had a bad run previous to that, they may have made the Super 8’s. Catalan have remained inconsistent throughout the season but a win last time out against Widnes Vikings snapped a three game losing streak.
The two clashes between the teams in the 2017 regular season saw home wins for both sides and so this third game will be for bragging rights but more importantly, will give the winner breathing space to rejoin the Super League. Over the last 10 matches dating back to the 2014 season, the Wolves have an 8-2 head-to-head lead.
Form looks to be the key factor in this match and our match prediction, is based around the run coming into this game and is why we are backing Warrington Wolves to come out on top, particularly with home advantage in the match. Both teams should make it back to the Super League next season and it will be a close match, but the Wolves just shade it for us.
