SALFORD RED DEVILS FORM: RED DEVILS HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD
Having won three straight, Salford will have fancied their chances of earning another success last time out but they were comfortably defeated by Leigh Leopards. The Red Devils didn’t get going in that game and in truth, could have conceded more than the 40 points they allowed.
LAST FIVE: LWWWL
WIGAN WARRIORS FORM: WARRIORS SHOWING THEIR QUALITY
After their disappointing showing at Hull KR, Wigan earned revenge by hammering their opponents in last week’s Challenge Cup semi-final as they booked their spot at Wembley. The Warriors have won their last three in all competitions and have really caught the eye in those games with the reigning SL champions looking like the team to beat once again.

Salford Red Devils will have been relieved to spend the week on the sidelines as they aim to regroup following a woeful showing against Leigh Leopards last time out. They face a really difficult challenge as they take on Wigan Warriors, a side that will be on a real high having progressed to the Challenge Cup final last week.
