Wigan Warriors vs Wakefield Trinity Super League Round 24 Tips & Prediction
Wigan Warriors are backed to continue their outstanding form and cover the -20.5 handicap against an injury-hit Wakefield Trinity.
The Warriors have now won 12 consecutive matches, with their combination of defensive strength and attacking quality making them extremely difficult to contain. Their last four victories have come by an average margin of 23 points, with three of those wins clearing this week's 20.5-point line.
Wakefield have lost back-to-back games and now head to Wigan without several important players. Their forward pack can compete in patches, but maintaining that level for 80 minutes against the Warriors is a much tougher task.

Wigan Warriors Form Analysis
Wigan are the competition's form side and extended their winning streak with a comfortable 34-6 victory over Bradford last weekend.
Jai Field and Bevan French remain major threats with the ball, while Wigan's strong defence and ability to dominate territory are allowing them to consistently build winning margins.
Wakefield Trinity Form Analysis
Wakefield's momentum has stalled with consecutive defeats to Leeds and St Helens, including a heavy 46-16 home loss last weekend.
Trinity still have enough size through the middle to compete early, but injuries and suspensions have weakened their depth at the wrong time ahead of one of the toughest fixtures in Super League.
