There is a West Yorkshire derby to look forward to in Super League on Sunday, as Wakefield Trinity and Huddersfield Giants meet at Belle Vue.
The hosts find themselves sitting fifth in the table, with 10 wins from their opening 15 games and just six points off top spot.
In contrast, Huddersfield are rooted to the foot of the Super League standings after just two wins so far this term and having lost their last eight matches.

Wakefield Trinity v Huddersfield Giants Prediction
Best Bet: Wakefield Trinity -18.5 @ 1/1
Trinity made the play-offs last season and seem determined to build on that in 2026, with coach Daryl Powell having cultivated an impressive squad.
Wakefield go into this clash having won four of their last five matches, which includes a 36-10 victory at Hull FC last weekend.
Toulouse and Wigan are currently the only two teams to have won in the league at Belle Vue this season and the Giants recent form suggests they won’t add their name to that list.
Huddersfield make the short journey to Wakefield having lost by 32 points at St Helens last week and go in search of just their second away league win this term.
The Giants' previous win on the road came at Wigan back in March and they have already been beaten by this Sunday’s opponents in the reverse fixture.
Wakefield won 18-16 at the Accu Stadium in February and taking into account home advantage and recent form, it’s unlikely this will be as close.
Alternative Bet: First Tryscorer - Tom Johnstone @ 13/2
Winger Tom Johnstone goes into this clash in fine form and the England international will be confident of crossing the whitewash again.
The former Catalans Dragons man scored two tries in last week’s win at the MKM Stadium, including the opener in the win over Hull FC.
Despite a heavy 48-10 home defeat to Wigan the previous week, Johnstone was also on the tryscorer list against the Warriors.
The 30-year-old has an impressive record during his second spell with Wakefield, scoring 21 tries in 31 matches.

Pays 14/1
Wakefield look like genuine Grand Final contenders this season and their good run has been built around solid home form.
Over their last three Super League home fixtures, Trinity have averaged 31.33 points and now prepare to face a Giants team who have conceded 474 points in their 15 games.
Seth Nikotemo has been amongst the tries of late, with the New Zealander crossing twice in the win over Hull FC.
It’s also worth noting that the second-row grabbed a try in the reverse fixture at Huddersfield.
If Wakefield are to go deep into the play-offs, then Jake Trueman is likely to have to play a key role for Trinity.
The stand-off has established himself as a key member of Powell’s squad and the coach has called on “individuals being tuned in and ready to play every week”.
