WARRINGTON WOLVES VS ST. HELENS PREDICTION
This is an important clash as Warrington Wolves aim to apply the pressure on second-placed Hull KR. Wire were edge by Leigh Leopards despite playing the vast majority of the game with just 12 men following an early red card. They still played well, however, and with St. Helens coming into this with three victories in their last 10 outings, it would be a surprise if the Wolves were unable to make an immediate return to winning ways.
