Wigan Warriors v Toulouse Prediction
Best Bet: Toulouse +34.5 @ 4/5
Wigan suffered a chastening 62-4 defeat to Hull KR in May, snapping a three-game winning run, but they have responded in sensational style since that loss with 10 wins in a row.
The Warriors beat Rovers 40-10 in the Challenge Cup final, gaining instant revenge for the top-flight defeat, before racking up nine successive victories in the Super League.
Matt Peet's side have performed well on both sides of the ball, scoring 607 points and conceding 383, and they have enough quality to extend their winning streak when hosting Toulouse.
However, the Rams have competed well for the large part of this season and a +34.5 handicap looks like a generous mark, especially as this has been a winning bet in 18 of their 21 league matches.
Toulouse were thumped 46-0 by Leeds on 31st July but head coach Sylvain Houles will demand a better showing and a more resolute, determined performance is anticipated.
St Helens have defeated a team by 35 or more points just three times in the Super League this season and Toulouse, who lost the reverse fixture in March 36-16, can ensure they cover the +34.5 handicap.
Alternative Bet: Zach Eckersley to score two or more tries @ 8/5
Zach Eckersley has been in fantastic form for Wigan this season, scoring a leading 22 tries for the Warriors, and he looks capable of crossing the whitewash at least twice against Toulouse.
The 22-year-old did exactly that in March's clash in France and he has also scored multiple tries in Super League games against Castleford, Huddersfield Giants and St Helens this year.
He bagged a hat-trick against Huddersfield three matches ago before following that up with a two-try showing against Saints. Eckersley has scored at least one try in 20 of his 24 appearances and he can take his tally to 24 or better on Saturday.
