Wigan Warriors already have this season's Challenge Cup and the League Leaders' Shield locked away in the trophy cabinet and their quest for the treble continues when they take on Wakefield Trinity in their Super League semi-final.

A place in next Saturday's Grand Final is up for grabs at the Brick Community Stadium but Wakey will have to defy hefty odds if they are to secure their first appearance in the big dance at Old Trafford.

Wigan Warriors -142pts 21-20 Hills

Wigan Warriors won all three trophies in 2024 and they are 160 minutes away from another clean sweep as they go into Saturday's Super League playoff semi-final against Wakefield Trinity.

The Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield are in the bag already and the Warriors are just 1-2 to win the big prize for an eighth time at Old Trafford next Saturday.

It is hard to back against them, especially as they have just won 15 straight matches to get to this stage of proceedings.

Points have been easy to come by and they have had a fortnight off to prepare for this clash, so it does not take a great leap of faith to back them to cover a 14-point handicap on Saturday.

In opposition are a Wakefield side who have had a season to remember. But Trinity have never been in this position before and their lack of big-match experience could catch them out.

They have relished taking on the big guns, and succeeding on many occasions, this term, but this is the biggest match in their recent history and it would be no surprise if the magnitude of the occasion got to them.

Wigan know what it takes to go all the way and they have won their last three meetings with Wakey, including both this season, and those three successes have come by an aggregate score of 118-24.

Wigan have posted totals of 40 or more points in four of their last six matches, including a 46-0 drubbing of former champions Hull KR on August 27 and a 50-12 shellacking of Catalans Dragons last time out on September 11.

Trinity will certainly put up a good fight but a dream night out at Old Trafford is likely to remain just that.
