WIGAN WARRIORS VS LEIGH LEOPARDS PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors are the team to beat once again and their current running streak makes it difficult to predict which side will be able to topple them. They have won their last eight across the board and while they have had a few close calls during that run, they still find a way to get the job done. Leigh Leopards will be desperate to bring that winning run to an end in this clash with their neighbours but having lost their way recently after an upturn in form, all signs point to a Wigan win with the hosts yet to lose on home soil this season.
