WIGAN WARRIORS VS ST. HELENS PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors can move a step closer to securing a top two spot at the very least as they host rivals St. Helens. The Warriors have been extremely tough to beat all season and have won their last nine across the board. On the other hand, Saints have lost their last two and with some big names sitting on the sidelines, it is hard to see them ending Wigan’s winning run here.
