Betting predictions, tips, and odds for Betfred Super League matches: Leigh versus Huddersfield, Salford versus Wakefield, St Helens versus Castleford, and Wigan versus Leeds
As the Super League regular season draws to a close, the tension is palpable with five of the top six positions yet to be decided. The final round of matches will take place on Friday, with all games starting at 8pm and being broadcast on Sky Sports.
The action kicks off at the Leigh Sports Village, where Leigh Leopards face Huddersfield Giants. A win for Leigh could potentially end Leeds's hopes of finishing third, while St Helens will secure fifth place regardless of their home clash with Castleford Tigers at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
At the Salford Community Stadium, Wakefield Trinity face Salford Red Devils in a match that could have plenty riding on it. If Hull FC win their home game against Catalans on Thursday, Wakefield could have it all to do in the playoffs, as they would need to win their match against Salford to secure a playoff spot. However, if Hull FC lose, Wakefield could take things easy in readiness for an eliminator clash with Leigh or Leeds next week.
The most anticipated match of the night takes place at the Brick Community Stadium, where Wigan Warriors host Leeds Rhinos. Wigan Warriors are expected to play aggressively due to their potential second-place finish and upcoming break. The Warriors have posted scores of 40 points or more in three of their last four matches, and they won this corresponding fixture last term 38-0.
Leeds Rhinos, however, face key injuries, with Jake Connor, Ryan Hall, Lachie Miller, Andy Ackers, Ash Handley, Alfie Edgell, Ethan Clark-Wood, Maiko Sivo, and Cameron Smith all unavailable for the match. Jai Field, who has scored six tries in his last four games, looks a great bet to open the scoring for Wigan. Field starts the final round on 24 tries, one ahead of Hull FC's Lewis Martin, and will be doing everything he can to get over the line to claim the top tryscorer award.
Wigan's potential second-place finish could also affect Hull FC's playoff position, as a Wigan win would ensure they finish above Hull. If Hull lose, they could find themselves slipping to seventh place, potentially facing a tougher playoff opponent.
As the playoffs approach, the stakes are high, and every match promises to be a thrilling spectacle. Don't miss the action on Sky Sports!
