Warrington Wolves vs Leigh Prediction: Hosts will win this time

The Halliwell Jones Stadium will be the venue for this round 8 encounter of the Betfred Super League between Warrington Wolves and Leigh. In this game, the hosts are heavy favorites to win, while the visitors come into this one on a losing streak. 

Warrington Wolves - WWLWW

Warrington Wolves continue their title chase here as they come in as favorites against a struggling Leigh. In their last game, Warrington Wolves defeated St Helens in the Challenge Cup quarterfinals. In that game, a second solid performance was enough to see them make it to the semis, winning with a margin of 25 on the road. However, in their last league game, Warrington Wolves took on Leeds Rhinos on the road, and they also won 8-35. Off to this game, Warrington Wolves are well positioned second spot in the league standings with 10 points, two below the league leaders, Catalans Dragons.

Leigh - WWLLL

Leigh is coming off their third straight defeat, and in this one, they will look to put an end to their poor record. In that span, Leigh were defeated by Hull KR in the quarterfinal of the Challenge Cup, while their league games with Wigan Warriors and Salford Red Devils also ended in defeats. In the meantime, their last league victory came against Hull FC in game week five on the road, which ended 4-54, being their only win so far after six leagues. Ahead of this game, Leigh have just two points this season, positioning them 9th in the standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Warrington Wolves showed that they are indeed ready for the season after a win over St Helens the previous weekend, and at home, I expect them to be dominant. In the meantime, Leigh have been less than impressive in the league, and with the way they play, I do not see them holding at all in either half of the game or closing the handicap gap.
