Warrington Wolves vs Huddersfield Giants Tips, Predictions and Bet Builder

Warrington Wolves were beaten by Hull KR in the Challenge Cup final earlier this month and they are well out of the play-off picture as Super League moves into the second half of the campaign.

Injuries have hit the Wolves hard this term and they have lost more matches than they have won, but things have been even worse for Huddersfield Giants, who started the round in 11th spot.

However, the Giants stood tall in an 22-18 loss to Super League champions Wigan Warriors last week and they are unlikely to be hounded out by the Wolves on Saturday.

Warrington Wolves vs Huddersfield Giants Prediction

Best Bet: Huddersfield +12 @ 11/10

Huddersfield pushed champions Wigan all the way in a 22-18 home defeat last week, but they were unlucky not to hold out for the win and there were plenty of positives to take away from the encouraging performance.

A similar showing at Warrington could see them land just their second win of the campaign.

However, they have a dismal record against Warrington so backing Huddersfield with the insurance of a 12-point start on the handicap looks the best way to go.

The Wire have won their last seven meetings with the West Yorkshire strugglers, but they have won just two of their last eight league matches, and they can't be trusted due to their incredible inconsistency this term.

Their home form remains decent, but they were hammered by Leeds Rhinos last week and the Giants have shown enough recently to suggest they can keep things tight on Saturday.

Alex Hilton explains:

Huddersfield have taken some hammerings off Warrington in recent years, but they could stay competitive here. You don't know what you will get from Wolves right now, so backing the Giants with a chunky start looks like a sensible play.

Warrington Wolves vs Huddersfield Giants Bet Builder Tip

• Huddersfield +12

• Ben Currie to score a try

• George Flanagan to score a try

  Pays 26/1

Back Huddersfield with a 12-point start as even though they have lost their last two matches, both defeats to Wigan and Leigh came by only four points.

Those sides are much better than Warrington right now, so the Giants are fancied to keep close tabs on their hosts this Saturday.

Ben Currie to score a try also looks a value bet as the Wolves workhorse has scored back-to-back tries for the Wire, while backing livewire Huddersfield youngster George Flanagan to score a try could also pay off.

He has shone for the Giants in recent matches and crossed the whitewash in the loss to Wigan last week.

Alex Hilton adds:

This contest could goeither way, so backing the Giants with a hefty start looks a safe option, while Ben Currie and George Flanagan can give you a good run for your money as both have been in good tryscoring form.
