Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves: Prediction, Tips and Odds

For the first time ever, Super League heads to the United States as Wigan Warriors prepare to play their round three clash against the Warrington Wolves in Las Vegas.

In 2024, NRL clubs from Australia held regular-season matches in Sin City, and 12 months later, Super League clubs will take part. There is also a Women's Ashes clash to look forward to.

Super League games have taken place in France, Australia and Spain in the past, but this weekend's match could put the 13-man code on the map in front of a huge audience.

The encounter between Wigan and Warrington is a repeat of last year's Challenge Cup final at Wembley, which the Cherry and Whites won 18-8, and they will hope to move level with the Wolves in the table with another win.

Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves betting tips and predictions

Wigan Warriors -7.5 - 4/5

Wigan were stunned in round 1 when they were beaten 0-1 in Golden Point by Leigh Leopards.

Matty Peet's side put that right and showcased their attacking talent with a resounding 46-4 success over Hull FC on the road last weekend.

Warrington have made a perfect two-from-two start to the new season, beating Huddersfield Giants 20-12 on the opening weekend before scraping past Catalans Dragons 18-12 last Friday.

While the Wire have won successive games, the manner of their performances have been far from convincing.

Sam Burgess will be pleased with his team's fighting spirit, but they appear to be second-best to Wigan in all areas.

Wigan won all four trophies that were up for grabs last season and they should be able to handle the occasion better than Burgess' young squad.

Nobody knows what to expect when the game is played at a neutral venue, but Wigan got the better of Warrington at Wembley last summer and continued to find a way to win in crunch games.

Wigan to win both halves - Yes - 6/4

Warrington's ruck and defensive line speed was lacking against Catalans, and their kicking game certainly needs work from open play.

To beat a team as organised as Wigan, the opposition needs to be firing on all cylinders from the opening kick, and Warrington do not seem ready for this challenge just yet.

Wire coach Burgess was late flying out to meet his players due to visa issues, and while his team will be prepared, there's a sense that this game is coming too early in the season for them.

The Wolves will not go down without a fight under Burgess' command, but Wigan should settle more quickly at the Allegiant Stadium, and that should help them win both halves in Las Vegas.

Jai Field to score anytime - 8/5

Wigan's ability to attack down their left edge has been so effective under Peet.

They also benefit from having incredible support play through the likes of Bevan French and Jai Field.

Field scored a hat-trick in last week's win over Hull FC and he could have a field day against Warrington's defence if the Wire allow as many offloads as they did against Catalans.

Warrington were weak in the tackle and slow off the mark and failed to gain any field position due to a poor kicking game, so expect Field to look for space around the ruck and if he finds any gaps, he will be out of sight in Nevada.
