Wakefield Trinity v Wigan Warriors Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Wakefield Trinity have been on an impressive run of form and the West Yorkshire outfit will be eyeing an upset when they host Wigan Warriors at Belle Vue on Friday evening.

Having suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of the Leeds Rhinos and St Helens, Wakefield have gone on to beat Catalans Dragons, Toulouse and Hull KR in their last three outings.

Wigan find themselves in free-scoring form, but Trinity look capable of giving the Warriors a run for their money when they clash in West Yorkshire.

Wakefield Trinity v Wigan Warriors Prediction

Best Bet: Wakefield Trinity +4.5 handicap @ 4/5

Losing just one home game in Super League this season, Wakefield have shown themselves to be a formidable force on their own patch.

Putting over 50 points past Bradford Bulls and Catalans at Belle Vue, Wakefield earned an impressive 26-24 scalp against reigning champions Hull KR in their last home outing.

Wigan have hit their stride in recent weeks but Wakefield have been a thorn in the Warriors’ side in the recent past.

With Trinity winning two of their last three Super League games against Wigan, Wakefield with the +4.5 handicap gets the nod for Friday’s contest.

Alternative Bet: Tom Johnstone anytime tryscorer @ 7/5

Helping Wakefield move up to third place in the Super League standings going into this week’s games, Trinity winger Tom Johnstone offers good value in the anytime tryscorer market.

Johnstone, who has scored an impressive 134 tries in 176 Super League appearances, scored against Wigan when these sides met in the Challenge Cup back in April, in a game in which the Warriors edged a 26-22 victory at Belle Vue.

Having recently scored four tries in a single game against Bradford, Johnstone at 7/5 offers good value here.
