Verdict
Warrington Wolves have the chance to temporarily climb back to the top of the Super League standings when they host the Huddersfield Giants.
Daryl Powell's men started the campaign like an indomitable steam train, through in recent weeks that momentum has withered.
Warrington's four defeats this season have all come from their last seven outings, with Wigan, St Helens, Leigh and Hull FC managing to stop the early frontrunners.
The last of those defeats was unquestionably painful as Wire surrendered an early 12-0 lead to lose the match 30-18 away at Hull FC.
Nevertheless, with prop Sam Kasiano set to return and Tom Whitehead ready to replace Joe Philbin, Wire certainly have the tools to see off a poor Huddersfield side.
The Giants, who are expected to welcome Olly Russell back into the fold, have endured five defeats from their last six outings.
The biggest problem for Ian Watson and his side is getting points on the board.
With the exception of their epic 42-40 defeat to Salford in the Challenge Cup, Huddersfield have only managed to score a combined 44 points from their last five Super League games - an average of 8.8 per match.
With that in mind, our recommendation is to back the hosts. Warrington to win both halves is our main tip as Powell's side look to reassert themselves as title frontrunners.
