Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves Preview
The Wigan Warriors welcome their North West rivals, the Warrington Wolves to the DW Stadium for this hugely important match up from the Rugby Super League in a game that always has special moments and that always goes on to prove pivotal come the end of the season.
Whilst the rivalry between the 2 may not match up to Wigan vs Saints and the Wire v Widnes, in recent season these matches have become more and more important and more and more heated and that sets things up to be a great and also it sets it up to be highly unpredictable.
Both of these 2 sides are packed full of international superstars, up and coming youngsters full of potential and battle hardened players which means that you are covered for those touches of quality that make magical moments happen in attack as well as the hard work and grit that make games so entertaining defensively.
That is what makes for great game sand this one has all of the hallmarks of been special and perhaps most of it is a game that both will be going all out for the win to put a market down against a team they will be expecting to battle it out for trophies come the end of the season.

Stadium
The DW Stadium is the home of the Warriors and on its day, it is one of the most atmospheric stadiums in the Super League.
As one of the biggest grounds in terms of capacity and with the stadium been all seater due to sharing with the towns football team, the ground can struggle for atmosphere when it is not near full capacity but that is nothing to worry about when Warrington are in town.
With a huge home following and a massive away following, both teams can expect a great backing and neutrals can expect a great atmosphere to give the stars on show the perfect setting to show us their quality.

History
These 2 north-west long time rivals have had a long history of success and challenging for honours which has led to them battling it out over titles and trophies throughout the years but it has been during the summer-era when a number of those big matches have taken place.
The 2 side met in the 2013 Super League Grand Final where over 66,000 fans at Old Trafford watched the Warriors win the title by 30 points to 16.
The 2 met in the Grand Final once again in the 2016 season where it was Wigan who once again prevailed but this time it was a closer affair as they ran out 12-6 winners in front of over 70,000 fans.
Wigan competed a hat-trick of Grand Final wins against the Wolves in 2018 when they ran out 12-4 winners in front of almost 65,000 fans at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.
The history of both clubs in big matches against each other goes back much further than the current era however as they faced off in the Rugby Football League Championship First Division final all of the way back in the 1925-26 season when it was Wigan who ran out the winners by 22 points to 10 to become the champions of England.
The 2 sides have also faced off in major cup matches including the 1989-90 Challenge Cup final when it was Wigan who came away from Wembley Stadium with the cup after a dominant 36 points to 14 victory.
In the 1986-87 season, the 2 met in the League Cup final, then known as the John Player Special Trophy, when Wigan defeated Warrignton 18 points to 4 at Burnden Park in Bolton.
They also met in the final of the same competition, then known as the Regal Trophy, in the 1994-95 season when Wigan won once again by a score of 40-10 at the McAlpine Stadium in Huddersfield.
Wigan and Warrington have also battled it out over cups at the more local level including the Lancashire Cup where they first battled it out in a final during the 1948-49 season when it was Wigan who came out on top by 14 points to 8 at Station Road in Swinton.
The 2 sides met in the final of the same competition once again just a couple of season later when Wigan dominated Warrington to win 28 points to 5, once against Station Road.
Warrington did gain some sort of revenge in the 1980-81 season when they defeated Wigan by 26 points to 10 at Knowsley Road in St Helens.
The next 2 times the sides met in the Lancashire Cup final it was Wigan who came out on top on both occasions starting with a win in the 1985-86 season, by 34 points to 8, and in the 1987-88 season, by 28 points to 16, with both matches taking place in St Helens.
