Match preview

Wigan were denied a place in last season's Betfred Super League Grand Final by the Salford Red Devils but only one of them look to have a chance of making it to Old Trafford in 2020.

Adrian Lam's Warriors have made a fantastic start to the season, winning five of their first six outings and scoring points for fun.

That is in stark contrast to last season's beaten Grand Finalists Salford, who have beaten only whipping boys Toronto Wolfpack in their opening six league matches.

Only one of those defeats, a Grand Final rematch at St Helens on the opening night, has been a mismatch, though, with the Red Devils losing their last four games by two, 14, ten and 16 points.

The layers have set a 12-point handicap for the visit of league leaders Wigan, which looks on the money, so backing the visitors to triumph by between 11 and 20 points could pay.

Guided by former Salford hero and current Man of Steel Jackson Hastings, Wigan have clicked into gear in attack in ominous fashion. Full-back Bevan French has been the standout player of the opening six rounds but the visitors have the potential to strike all over the pitch.
