The Betfred Super League play-offs begin this week with league winners St Helens having the week off.

The Elimination Final: sees 4th placed Warrington face Castleford who finished 5th – the loser of which is out. The winner takes on the runner up from the other final.

The Qualification Final sees 2nd vs 3rd with Wigan taking on Salford. The winners of this then take on St Helens for a place in the Grand Final.

Warrington Wolves 19:45 Castleford Tigers

Match odds: Warrington 1/2 Castleford 15/8 Draw 22/1

Betfred says:The winners – and Challenge Cup holders Warrington are in the box seat despite an alarming dip in form, will likely play the losers of the Friday night qualifier crunch game between Wigan and Salford.

Wire should make home advantage count – and their star men who have both made the newly announced  2019 Dream Team Blake Austin and Daryl Clark have been heavily backed at 12/1 and 16/1 respectively to score first.

Wigan Warriors 19:45 Salford Red Devils

Match odds: Wigan 4/11 Salford 5/2 Draw 22/1

Betfred says: Salford have had a magnificent season to defy the odds and finish third, but a trip to inform holders Wigan could be just be too much.

It will be interesting to see how Salford talisman Jackson Hastings performs against the club he’ll be joining next season.
