Catalans Dragons have placed a massive amount of pressure on themselves as they come into this game outside of the top six having looked secured in their play-off spot for pretty much the entirety of the season. They now come up against a Wigan Warriors side that have won four of their last five and with Beven French back to provide them with a spark, the away side can come out on top again.
