Super League - Round 26 - Wigan Warriors v Bradford Bulls

Wigan Warriors v Bradford Bulls (+2/-2pts)

Revenge will be one of the sentiments echoing around the Bradford Bulls changing room, as they prepare to face their former coach Brian Noble, and player Stuart Fielden, oh and lets not forget the Wigan Warriors.

Wigan are currently on a great run of form, winning 8 of the last 9 Super League matches. However they still find themselves caught up in the relegation scrap, a victory tonight against the Bulls would secure they Super League survival, and there's no better side Nobel would want to secure it against.

It's fair to say that since Noble parted company with the Bulls, their form has dipped, especially away from Odsal. They have only won once on the road in the last 5 fixtures, which came against a coachless and struggling Wakefield side. You have to go back to Round 14 for the last time the Bulls picked up 2pts on the road.

Brian Noble and Stuart Fielden know what this Bradford side is all about. Power, accuracy and Lesley 'The Volcano' Vainikolo. I am confident Nobel will get his tactics nailed on tonight.

Wigan for me...

However, with so many old scores to settle between these two old foes, I recommend only small stakes.

Wigan: Ashton, Calderwood, Dobson, Fielden, Fletcher, Godwin, Hansen, Higham, Hock, Logan, McAvoy, O'Carroll, O'Loughlin, Orr, Paleaaesina, Richards, Tickle, Vaealiki.

Bradford: Hape, Deacon, Vagana, Newton, I. Harris, McKenna, Cook, Lynch, Meyers, B. Harris, Withers, Ferres, Vainikolo, Henderson, Langley, Pryce, Burgess, Bai.

Recommendation: Wigan Warriros +2pt @ 1.90 betfred (1pt)
Prediction - Wigan to win by 10pts
(Scale 1-5pts)

Good Luck
