Hull KR vs Wigan Warriors Prediction: Warriors to book their spot in the final

Eco-Power Stadium will host this first semifinal encounter of the Challenge Cup Semi-Final between Hull KR and Wigan Warriors. Which side will book their spot in the finals?

Hull KR were on the losing end the last time they played, as they took on the Warrington Wolves in that encounter. In an encounter that ended 20-8, a slow start in the first half saw them lose 18-4, and despite their 2-4 win in the second half, that was not enough to see this side prove a point. In the meantime, Hull KR's last encounter in this competition was against Leigh, and they secured a 26-14 win.

Wigan Warriors dominated the previous weekend against Huddersfield, as this side secured a 6-48 win on the road. In the meantime, that win made it Wigan Warriors' fifth in six consecutive matches, with their lone defeat coming against Hull KR. In that run, Wigan Warriors defeated the likes of Leigh, Castleford, and Catalans Dragons. In their last meeting in this fixture, Wigan Warriors defeated Castleford 6-60, and they hope for another top-level performance here. 

Wigan Warriors hope to be strong in this encounter after a defeat in their last game against Hull KR. However, while Hull KR were poor last weekend, they will look to take all positivity in this game. Despite this, Wigan Warriors are the better team here and have a more robust squad. Take the road team to win with a handicap, with this game expected to end with few points.
