Key Stat

Prediction
This should be a comfortable win for Saints in new coach Kristian Woolf’s first competitive game in charge, having won their opening Super League match for the past six seasons. Salford will likely still be adapting to the loss of Man of Steel winner Jackson Hastings and may take time to gel in the early stages of the season.
