Key Stat
The two sides played five each other five times last season with Wigan claiming four victories to Salford’s one, with the Red Devils winning the crucial semi-final that sent them through to the Grand Final at Wigan’s expense. This game is also notable for the return of last season’s Man of Steel Jackson Hastings making his first return to the AJ Bell Stadium since his summer move from Salford to Wigan.
Prediction
The form book points at only one winner in this one. Wigan are flying high at the top of the Super League table and are on a four-game winning streak. Salford are second from bottom in the league standings and have lost four games in a row following their defeat at Catalans’. Wigan should be comfortable winners in this one.
