Wigan Warriors Team News: Two switches made

The visitors have made a couple of changes for this match, such as the removal of Patrick Mago due to a hamstring injury and Tyler Dupree after he failed a head injury assessment. Replacing them are the pair of Adam Keighran and Luke Thompson, both of whom have recovered from their respective injuries.

Squad: Jai Field, Abbas Miski, Adam Keighran, Jake Wardle, Liam Marshall, Bevan French, Harry Smith, Brad O’Neill, Luke Thompson, Junior Nsemba, Liam Farrell, Kaide Ellis, Patrick Mago, Liam Byrne, Kruise Leeming, Harvie Hill, Sam Walters, Zach Eckersley, Tom Forber, Jack Farrimond, Jacob Douglas, Taylor Kerr

Hull FC vs Wigan Warriors Prediction

Hull FC and Wigan Warriors each boast one win against each other so far this season. Whilst the Warriors thrashed Hull FC 4-46 back in February, the latter bounced back to knock Wigan out of the Challenge Cup a month later, winning 22-26 at the Brick Community Stadium. But following a tough inter-city derby defeat to Hull KR, John Cartwright’s side will be desperate to come back strongly.

Wigan Warriors have started to flex their muscles and look like the defending champions that they are in recent weeks, winning their last three games in fine fashion, nilling Salford Red Devils, ending Hull KR’S 100% Super League record and claiming Good Friday spoils against St. Helens. Momentum and confidence is with them and backing Wigan to make it four straight wins is a move worth making.
