Wakefield Trinity vs Castleford Tigers Prediction
Wakefield Trinity’s record against Castleford Tigers is a rotten one, having not beaten their bitter rivals in the last 12 years at home in Super League. The hosts are also coming off the back of consecutive defeats, but Castleford have lost three on the bounce so both teams are coming into this contest out of form.
Across the season, Wakefield have been significantly better away from home and this, combined with their awful record vs the Tigers could get into the players’ heads psychologically. If ever there was an opportunity for Castleford to turn their campaign around, this would be it against a team they know how to beat on the road.
The smart move would be to back Castleford Tigers at good value to get the better of Wakefield in what could turn out to be a high-scoring encounter at Belle Vue.
