Preview

Twelve Betfred Super League teams set out on the road to Old Trafford but, as with much of life this year, the pandemic has forced original plans to be cast aside.

For the first time since the advent of Super League, this season's title decider will not take place at the Theatre of Dreams. Hull's KCom Stadium will host the final and from an original top-four playoff structure for 2020, an additional two teams have been given the chance of potential Grand Final glory.

Perennial bridesmaids Warrington will hope that the temporary move away from Manchester can help end their 65-year wait for a title and the Wolves are eight-point favourites to beat Hull in the first match of the playoffs.

There are no second chances with the losers falling at the first hurdle and winners facing either Wigan or St Helens in the semi-finals next week.

Warrington have been handsome winners on both occasions the sides have met this season and will be well rested having played only twice in a month.

The Wire have gone into the break ahead and put daylight between themselves and the Airlie Birds in the second half in the pair's two meetings this term and a similar story could unfold.
