LAST FIVE: WWLLW
LEIGH LEOPARDS FORM: LEIGH BOOST PLAY-OFF HOPES
Leigh are coming home with a wet sail and did what was required to make it four successive victories with a hard-fought win over Castleford Tigers last week. The Leopards start this game five points outside of the play-off spots.

WIGAN WARRIORS TEAM NEWS: ONE CHANGE FOR WARRIORS
It is likely to be a similar side that takes to the field once again with Wigan making just one change to their 21-man squad. Sam Eseh Jr. has departed on loan once again with Jacob Douglas taking his spot.
21-MAN SQUAD: Field, Miski, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall, Smith, Havard, Byrne, Farrell, Ellis, Mago, Thompson, Leeming, Dupree, Hill, Nsemba, Walters, Hampshire, Eckersley, Douglas, Farrimond
LEIGH LEOPARDS TEAM NEWS: MOYLAN REMAINS A DOUBT
Matt Moylan missed out against the Tigers and he is rated as a 50/50 chance to come back into the side here with the star stand-off still struggling to overcome a knock.
21-MAN SQUAD: Hardaker, Leutele, Charnley, Moylan, Lam, Ipape, Mulhern, O’Donnell, Hughes, Asiata, Norman, Davis, Halton, Trout, Hanley, Nisbet, Brogan, Dwyer, McIntosh, Pene, Hodgson
WIGAN WARRIORS VS LEIGH LEOPARDS PREDICTION
This rearranged fixture will test the fitness and stamina of the Wigan Warriors and Leigh Leopards squads. The pair will back-up here for a rare Tuesday night contest with another game to come at the weekend too. Both teams will fancy their chances here but Leigh are giving it everything in their quest to make a late charge towards the play-offs and having won their last four, they are fancied with the aid of a solid start on the handicap.
WIGAN WARRIORS VS LEIGH LEOPARDS TIP: LEIGH LEOPARDS +12.5
