The penultimate game of the regular season gives reigning champions Wigan the perfect opportunity to gain momentum as they look to make a late charge towards a second consecutive Super League title. For last season’s runners-up, the task to stay in the Super League adds extra importance to the re-match of last season’s Grand Final.
Joe Burgess has been the standout player for the Warriors so far this season and has made a big impact since returning to the club from Australia at the start of the season, with 23 tries to his name. For the Wolves, they have been reliant on the form of winger Tom Lineham who has chipped in with 16 tries.
The Warriors are on a three-match unbeaten streak with two wins and a draw and will hope to carry that form into the Super 8’s and a win over the Wolves will go a long way in increasing their chances. Warrington were the big winners last time out over Leigh Centurions and that should give them confidence as they look to dampen the Warriors momentum.
In their last meeting, nothing could separate the two teams in a 24-24 draw. They also met in the Challenge Cup with Wigan edging victory by a single point, 27-26, showing that both teams are very evenly matched. Wigan have the edge over the last 10 encounters with 6 wins.
