Salford Red Devils vs Wigan Warriors Prediction: A competitive contest is expected

Salford Community Stadium will host this Betfred Super League game between Salford Red Devils and Wigan Warriors. The hosts have not secured a win in this fixture in recent times. How will this encounter end?

Salford Red Devils

Salford Red Devils lost to Leigh on the road last time out, a 40-12 encounter. However, that defeat was Salford Red Devils’ second defeat in their last five, with one defeat against Castleford. However, their games against London Broncos, Warrington Wolves and Huddersfield ended in consecutive victories. This season, Salford Red Devils have accumulated 14 points from 11 matches, positioning them 6th in the league standings.  

Wigan Warriors

Wigan Warriors will look to move to the top of the standings with a win here. Last weekend, Wigan Warriors played Hull KR in the Challenge Cup semifinal and secured a 6-38 road win. However, their previous league game was against Huddersfield, and they thrashed their opponent in a 6-48 encounter. This season, Wigan Warriors have accumulated 16 points from 10 matches, two points adrift of first-placed St Helens, who have played two extra games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Wigan Warriors have been excellent this season in the league and consistently shown what they are up to. While Salford Red Devils do not have a good record against the visiting, the fact they are off a defeat does not let me trust them. Take the road team to win in what should be a low-scoring encounter.
