Hull Kingston Rovers vs Wakefield Trinity
Venue: Hull College Craven Park
Kick-off: Friday 31st January, 7:45pm
Head-to-Head
Last Five Results: Wakefield 16-26 Hull KR (11/8/2019), Hull KR 30-14 Wakefield (28/4/19), Hull KR 12-32 Wakefield (15/3/19), Hull KR 13-31 Wakefield (10/8/18), Wakefield 72-10 Hull KR (22/7/18)
Key Stat
Rovers won two of the three meetings they had with Trinity last season which included picking up a crucial two points last August which proved to be the victory that kept them in Super League. However, Trinity came out 26-8 winners when the two sides met in the opening round of fixtures in 2018.
Prediction
I’ve been impressed with Hull KR’s recruitment ahead of the new season and think they should have too much for Wakefield as both sides look to put a disappointing 2019 campaign behind them. Rovers have won seven of the last 10 meetings between the two teams and should continue to dominate the fixture on Friday night.
