- Leeds Rhinos VS Wigan Warriors Betting Tips and Preview
Last season’s Super League Champions are once again making a run for the title with a late burst of form after an indifferent early season campaign that saw them struggle to reach the Super 8’s. Despite finishing the regular season in second place, two damaging defeats have knocked the confidence of the Rhinos, who will be hoping to regain the momentum in front of their home fans.

Leeds Rhinos VS Wigan Warriors Super League Preview
4th August – 20:00 – Headingley Carnegie, Leeds.
A run of four defeats across May/June looked to have given the Warriors little hope of making the Super 8’s, but a pick-up in form since has seen them sneak into the Title reckoning and a win over their rivals would see them have the momentum to reach the Semi-Finals. Leeds look set to make the Semi-Finals after a strong regular season campaign but they’ll need to regain their confidence to walk away with another Super League title.
Key Players to Watch
Leeds Rhinos Hooker Matt Parcell has been in outstanding form and boasts excellent tackling stats as well as scoring 12 tries to date for the 2015 Super League winners. Liam Marshall has been the go-to man for the Warriors with 20 tries across the season to date, with only Castleford’s Greg Eden ahead. The form of both players will be a key component for the outcome of this Super 8’s clash.
Both Teams Recent Form
Ahead of our Leeds Rhinos VS Wigan Warriors Rugby League odds, our preview looks at the form of these long-term rivals. Wigan have picked up after a run of defeats threatened to curtail their Super 8’s involvement. Leeds, in contrast, have lost their last two games, though will be heartened with 6 wins in seven games that preceded the two losses.
Leeds Rhinos VS Wigan Warriors Head-to-Head
Perhaps the biggest result of the season to date, was the Warriors recent 34-0 dismantling of the Rhinos a couple of weeks back that seemed to put the league on alert that the Warriors were back and eyeing the defence of their Super League title. Leeds took the early season win back in March but Wigan have had the upper hand over their last 10 games played.
Leeds Rhinos VS Wigan Warriors Prediction
Both of these teams go into the match with high hopes of lifting another Super League crown but the pressure is on the Warriors, who have ground to make up after an indifferent season and so our match prediction is for Wigan to continue their recent form with a win over their arch-rivals and maintain hopes of a defence of their Super League title.
Leeds Rhinos VS Wigan Warriors Betting Tips
Knowing that they need a win we expect a fast start from the Warriors to put the shock tactics on the Rhinos and our Rugby League betting tips are pointing towards a high-scoring affair and Wigan to reach 10 points first in the game. This game is expected to be a close affair and the handicap market is tight and so a Wigan win offers good value and with SportingBet, they have a welcome offer of up to £0 if you place a £10 bet.
