Wigan Warriors vs St Helens Prediction: Wigans have the advantage in this fixture

Wigan Warriors and St Helens will square it off at Elland Road in Leeds in round 22 of the Betfred Super League. In their last meeting, the Warriors won at Brick Community Stadium. Will St Helens be able to take something on this neutral ground?

Wigan Warriors are coming off a defeat at the hands of Leeds Rhinos in a game that 30-4. However, that defeat was the Wigan Warriors' third defeat in a row, which ended 24-22 against Hull FC and 4-40 against Warrington Wolves. Despite those defeats, the Warriors still picked wins over Huddersfield and Leigh. In the meantime, Wigan Warriors are seated 2nd spot in the Betfred Super League with 32. 

St Helens are coming off a win over the Salford Red Devils. In that game, St Helens ended the first half 4-4 and the second half 12-12. However, this team needed a drop goal from Mbaye in the extra time to secure a win. However, St Helens have lost five of their seven games, picking one other win against Hull FC. St Helens head into this game seated 4th in the Betfred Super League standings with 26 points from 21 matches. 

These two teams have fallen off so badly this season, looking at the number of points accumulated from matches already played this season and the standard they have set in the past years. While Wigan Warriors are slightly improved, St Helens have struggled in many games and look unreliable in this fixture. While this is an open one as both teams can do and undo, I still trust the Wigan Warriors to get the job done here, looking at their record in this fixture in the past years, a game that could end with few points.
