Last Five Results: Catalans 44-10 Wakefield (06/7/19), Wakefield 18-25 Catalans (25/5/19), Wakefield 22-12 Catalans (21/2/19), Wakefield 34-22 Catalans (14/9/18), Wakefield 18-35 Catalans (07/7/18)
Key Stat
Both teams suffered disappointing opening round defeats with Trinity losing away at Hull KR and Catalans suffering a surprise home defeat to Huddersfield making this one a must win for both sides. This one could be a fiery affair following Israel Folau’s controversial move to Catalans last week with Wakefield responding by holding an inclusivity day for LGBT+ supporters ahead of Sunday’s match.
Prediction
The arrival of Folau means Catalans will want to create some positive headlines on Sunday by claiming their first win of the season. Danny Brough will be missing for Chris Chester’s side and his absence, coupled with Catalans quality, should see the French side get up and running for the season.
