HULL FC VS WIGAN WARRIORS PREDICTION
The last team Hull FC want to face is reigning champions Wigan Warriors but that is what they must do as they aim to claim just a third win of the season. The Black and Whites have shown signs of improvement of late but will need to produce an 80-minute effort here. However, even that may not be good enough and despite the Warriors missing key men Bevan French and Jai Field, the away side should still have enough to come out on top.
