Widnes v Warrington

Warrington make the short trip to the Sky Sports Arena on Friday night looking for their first points of the season, and the match is sure to be a fiesty affair given the passion between these two sets of fans.

Widnes opened the season with a terrific performance against Catalans, but failed to take their chances which could easily have seen them beat Castleford in week 2.

Warrington are yet to win after two outings - a narrow 12-16 defeat to Leeds and a more concerning 20-6 reversal to Huddersfield.

Widnes therefore will be the happier of the sides after the opening exchanges, and it's a surprise to see them given a 4pt start in this one by the layers.

Coach Denis Betts confirmed on Thursday that both Danny Craven and Aaron Heremaia are expected to be fit, but that Charly Runciman would be out for a few weeks.

Wolves have Dom Crosby available again - the prop set for his first appearance in nine months, but it's hard to beleive he'll come straight out of the blocks in top gear, so that could be a temporary negative if anything.

On balance, a small bet on Widnes +4 is probably the best play here.
