Wigan Warriors Women vs St Helens Women Prediction: Wigan treble is the Betts bet

One of the showpiece occasions in the British rugby league calendar takes place on Sunday when the Wigan Warriors Women take on their St Helens counterparts in the Betfred Women’s Super League Grand Final at The Brick (17:30 BST, live on Sky Sports+HD).

Denis Betts’ side are looking to make history by collecting their first-ever treble, having already beaten their local rivals in June’s Women’s Challenge Cup final at Wembley. My Wigan Warriors Women vs St Helens Women predictions are below, complete with the latest team news and Betfred’s match odds.

Wigan Warriors Women vs St Helens Women Odds

Wigan are huge favourites to add the Super League title to their golden achievements so far in 2025.

They’re a 2/9 bet, which implies an 81.8% probability of them adding a second league triumph after their 2018 success.

You can get 7/2 about a Saints win, with the draw in 80 minutes a 14/1 chance.

Wigan are 1/5 to lift the trophy by any means necessary, with St Helens 10/3 to cause a shock whether in normal time or golden-point extra-time.

The Warriors are given a 10.5-point disadvantage on the handicap betting, with Saints 4/5 to stay within that marker. Wigan are 20/21 to take the title by at least 11 points.

Team News

Betts won’t be looking to make too many alterations after his side recorded their ninth clean sheet of the year in beating Leeds Rhinos 38-0 in the semi-finals two weeks ago.

Captain Vicky Molyneux is looking to go out of the sport at the very top after announcing she will retire at the season’s end.

The 37-year-old should line up in the front row alongside Mary Coleman and Remi Wilton, the latter of whom has missed only one game at hooker all year.

The Warriors are guaranteed to have a Woman of Steel at this week’s awards ceremony, with Jenna Foubister, Izzy Rowe and 26-try back-row sensation Eva Hunter the three nominations.

For Saints coaching duo Derek Hardman and Craig Richards, there will be an emphasis on experience going into Sunday’s showdown.

While they have had the measure of every other opponent they have faced in 2025, they have failed to beat Wigan in their three meetings.

Richards said this week that the coaches have “95 per cent” of their squad available, with Amy Hardcastle short of full fitness but ready to put her body on the line after more than three months out.

Zoe Harris should be available after missing the 12-8 semi-final win over York Valkyrie, meaning England captain Jodie Cunningham will revert back to loose forward having deputised in the halves.

Handicap 2-way: Wigan -10.5 @ 20/21

This Saints side has achieved so much in recent years. Having been Super League champions in 2021, they then went and won three straight Challenge Cups from 2022 to 2024, with the final pair of those victories coming under the arch at Wembley Stadium.

In the league, though, they have just kept falling short. Losing semi-finalists in both ’22 and ’23, they finally got back to the big dance last October under Matty Smith but were downed 18-8 by York on their home patch.

This year it is the Warriors who have just been that bit too good for them. There might have been two tight games between this pair in the league, but it was Wigan who took three of the four points on offer.

And at Wembley, Betts’ side became only the second women’s team to win the Challenge Cup at the national stadium when they walloped the reigning champs 42-6.

That showed that the former Great Britain second-rower knows exactly how to prepare his side for the biggest of occasions, and he has insisted in the build-up to this one that he will be keeping everything low key.

He knows he has the best team on the day, and if they execute to even half the standard they managed in north-west London in June, that 10.5-point handicap offering will surely look too skinny.

I’ve got Wigan down to win this one by around three scores, so the handicap bet at 20/21 and an implied probability of 51.2% looks a treat.
