Key Stat
Both teams secured opening round wins against tricky opposition with Castleford seeing off newly promoted Toronto Wolfpack and Wigan defeating Warrington at the DW Stadium. The Warriors have won four of the last five meetings against Cas but haven’t won at the Jungle since May 2016.
Prediction
Both teams were victorious in round one of the competition with the Tigers arguably more impressive than Wigan who edged out Warrington despite playing with an extra man for nearly 60 minutes. In what will be a close game, Cas should extend their fine record at home against the Warriors in recent seasons and secure a narrow victory.
