Both teams sit at the foot of the Super League table but will be heartened that they are only four points off a Semi-Final spot. That being said, they go into this match knowing that a loss for either team is likely to end their chances of reaching the latter stages. Wigan have picked up recently but a damaging loss to Leeds Rhinos could have scuppered all their hard work.

Ahead of our Wigan Warriors vs Huddersfield Giants odds, these teams have had an inconsistent season and barely scraped into the Super 8’s. Wigan, as last season’s Champions, have given themselves an outside chance of making the Semi-Finals with their recent form but after the opening Super 8’s loss, they have it all to do. Huddersfield go into the match with a morale boosting against Wakefield Trinity and with a few wins could sneak under the radar and make the latter stages.
Wigan will look to centre Liam Marshall to inspire them to make the Semi-Finals, adding to his tally of 20 tries, where they will know they have the experience to win the title despite a poor season in comparison to recent seasons. Jermaine McGillvary added the 17th try for the season in Huddersfield Giants win over Wakefield and will be key if they are to put a run of results together that will catapult them into the Semi-Finals.
Before we get to our Super League odds, the form of both sides have been patch across the season with the Warriors winning three of their last five games but losing last time out to Leeds Rhinos. Huddersfield convincingly beat Wakefield Trinity in their first Super 8’s game and they have the same recent record of three wins in five games.
There has been little to separate these teams this season and they go into the match looking for bragging rights. Two tense draws have been the order of this season but previously to that, it was Wigan with the upper hand with 6 wins prior to the draws. Whoever takes this match, could be the team to go on a late surge.
Home advantage cannot be under estimated in this match between the two teams looking up at the rest. For our match prediction, we give the edge to the Warriors who have had some spectacular results against teams above them but have also lost when least expected. If they can find that consistency that earned them the 2016 Super League crown, they could be the team to make the late run for the title.
Wigan still have hopes of retaining their 2016 Super League crown and their match against the Huddersfield Giants is seen as a crucial encounter.
