Warriors can charge into next round
After a dream season last term, Wigan are already finding their stride this year and go into this game on the back of three consecutive Super League wins.
Beating Hull FC, Warrington Wolves and Huddersfield Giants in that spell, the Warriors have been putting in some impressive attacking performances.
Scoring 44 or more points across those three games against the Airlie Birds, the Wire and the Giants, Wigan has been putting their rivals on notice that they are still hungry for success this season.
After beating Hull FC by 42 points at MKM Stadium in February, there is little reason to suggest Wigan can’t achieve a similar result on Saturday and the hosts are worth considering with a -18 handicap.
Wigan Warriors vs Hull FC Tip 1: Wigan Warriors -18 handicap @ 5/6 with bet365
Eckersley to strike again
Zach Eckersley already has a Challenge Cup try to his name this season, after going over for the Warriors in a 48-12 win at the Sheffield Eagles in the last round.
The talented 21-year-old will be looking to add to his tally in the competition this weekend and has a good record against Hull FC in recent meetings.
Scoring in two of his last three appearances against the Black & Whites, Eckersley is good value to add to his try collection against Hull FC this weekend.

Field can run riot
There was little doubt who the standout player was the last time Wigan and Hull FC crossed swords, with Warriors star Jai Field bagging a hat-trick that day at MKM Stadium.
The Australian full-back produced a stellar performance in that game and he goes into this match on the back of a tryscoring performance against Huddersfield last time out.
Given his recent form and how he cut the Hull FC defence apart in their last meeting, Field to score two or more tries on Saturday is certainly one to consider.
