Tigers to edge tight Wigan game

MJ Black

Wigan haven’t won in three games but their recent record against Castleford will give them encouragement for their chances on Thursday.

The Warriors have won five of their last six meetings against the Tigers, but the Yorkshire outfit are much-improved this season.

Castleford have racked up 281 points in seven games and while the Warriors boast one of the best defences in Super League, the visitors will fancy their chances of a seventh win this term.

The Warriors’ two defeats this season have been by two and eight point margins, so the 2/1 on offer at Betfred for Castleford to win by 1-12 points looks the way to go.
