Huddersfield vs Wigan Warriors Prediction: Warriors to show their class

John Smith's Stadium will host this Super League game between Huddersfield and Wigan Warriors. How will this encounter end?

Huddersfield are coming off a defeat against Salford Red Devils last weekend, a game that ended 16-18. However, that defeat was Huddersfield’s second in a row, with their first being against St Helens in a close 13-12 encounter. However, prior games to those defeats saw Huddersfield go on a five game winning run. In those matches, Huddersfield defeated Hull FC, London Broncos, Catalans Dragons and Leeds Rhinos. However, this side has just 10 points in 10 games this season, positioning them 8th in the standings.

Wigan Warriors are coming off a win over Catalans Dragons, a 30-8 dominating win. In the meantime, Wigan Warriors had lost to Hull KR in prior encounters to that win, losing 26-10 in a league game. Despite this, it is worth noting that that defeat was Wigan Warriors’ loss in their last five games. In that run, other games, Wigan Warriors defeated Leigh Rhinos, and Castleford in consecutive games. This season, Wigan Warriors have 14 points accumulated from 9 games, positioning them 2nd in the standings.

Huddersfield are one of the tough sides to defeat this season, but their league games have not ended with best results. Wigan Warriors on the other hand posses class, and the last season league winner will have high hopes in this game. We can be in for another close game from Huddersfield, but against a top team like Wigan Warriors, I do not see them getting a chance.
