Two teams finishing the Super League regular season strongly meet at Craven Park on Tuesday evening, as Hull Kingston Rovers and Warrington Wolves clash.
It’s fifth versus third with just two points separating the two teams, as both set their sights on being at Old Trafford for October's Super League Grand Final.
Four consecutive wins for the defending champions has seen the Robins close the gap to leaders Leeds Rhinos to just six points.
Meanwhile, the Wolves venture across the Pennines having won their last three fixtures and having beaten KR in their previous meeting.

Hull Kingston Rovers v Warrington Wolves Prediction
Best Bet: Hull KR -8.5 @ 5/6
Willie Peters will step down as Hull KR boss at the end of the season and back-to-back Super League titles would be the perfect way to say goodbye to the Robins’ faithful.
After a poor start to the campaign, last season’s champions have bounced back strong following their Challenge Cup final defeat to Wigan.
KR have won seven of their last 11 games and put themselves in the play-off mix, with five games of the regular season still to play.
Their good run has been built around a solid record at Craven Park, with Peters’ men losing just one of their last 10 league games on home soil.
The Robins beat Warrington three times last season, while the two teams have one win a piece this term. KR won the Cup semi-final showdown, with the Wolves victorious in the league clash at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Warrington have comfortably won their last three matches, against York, Bradford and Castleford, but their away form prior to that run will be a concern.
The Wolves lost at both Leigh and Wigan last month and will need a big improvement to try and go toe-to-toe with their hosts.
Alternative Bet: Both Teams to Score 20 Points @ 12/5
Only the top-two in the table, Leeds and Wigan, have scored more points than Hull KR in Super League this year.
The defending champions have averaged 30 points per game and have run in 25 tries across their last four matches.
The points have also been flowing for Warrington in the last few weeks, racking up 120 in their last three matches.
It’s also worth noting that Sam Burgess’ men have scored 20+ points in four of their last five Super League fixtures.
