Wigan Warriors will play Hull Kingston Rovers in the 2024 Rugby Super League final at Old Trafford in Manchester. Heading into this game, the two teams have had an amazing season and will look to lift the trophy. Below, I will analyze the two teams’ performances into this stage and make predictions.

Wigan Warriors showed character and class in the semifinal of this playoff and will look to be at their best again. In the game against Leigh Rhinos, Wigan Warriors pulled off an 18-0 win in the first half and scored 20 points in the second half. However, having finished their regular season with 44 points and top of the standings. Heading into this game, Wigan Warriors have a seven-win run while failing to concede in their last three matches. 

Hull Kingston Rovers did a good job against Warrington Wolves in the semifinal encounter, securing a 10-8. A strong first-half performance in that game saw Hull Kingston Rovers book their spot in this final despite failing to score in the second half. In the meantime, this team finished the regular season second in the standings, and in their last five matches, Hull Kingston Rovers had four wins and one defeat. 

Wigan Warriors have been very good, and it is impossible to see anything other than a win in this game. While Hull Kingston Rovers have been a good side this season, it is difficult to write them off here. While the two teams will come into this game hoping to step up their game, Wigan Warriors are still the better team, and I am certain they will win. Also, with the two teams expected to be very careful defensively, a bet on a few points is another option.
