Catalans Dragons vs Wigan Warriors Prediction: Tough encounter ahead for the two sides

In the Betfred Super League, Catalans Dragons and Wigan Warriors will square it off at Stade Gilbert Brutus. Warriors have won the last meetings of this fixture. Will Catalans Dragons at home get something out of this one?

Catalans Dragons' last matches ended in poor results, and they will eye a better result in this one. In their previous four games, this team had only one win, coming against Huddersfield, which ended 22-23. However, their other encounters ended in defeats against London Broncos, Hull KR, and Leeds Rhinos. Heading into this game, Catalans Dragons have 26 points accumulated this season, leaving them seated 6th. 

Wigan Warriors' last matches have ended with more wins, as they had only one loss in their previous five encounters. In that run, their only defeat came against Leeds Rhinos in a 30-4. However, their other encounters ended in victories against Huddersfield, Leigh, St Helens, and Hull FC. In the Super League this season, Wigan Warriors have 36 points, the same as first-placed Hull KR. 

Warriors have been the better side in this fixture and the better side in recent meetings. On the other hand, the Catalans Dragons have struggled lately, with consecutive defeats in the last matches. Yet, I expect this one to be competitive, as the Dragons have been brilliant against tough sides this season. Therefore, this game is expected to end with high scores, with Warriors winning.
