After two comprehensive defeats in a row, Wakefield are under pressure and Toulouse’s win over Hull KR has only ramped that up.
Now just four points separate the two teams at the bottom of the league and leaves the momentum with Toulouse.
Should, the French side win it would cut the gap down to just two points and would create a real battle for survival. What a way to start the Magic Weekend.
Kick-off time and TV channel
The game kicks off at 14:30.
Coverage will be shown on Sky Sports Mix and Arena.
Predicted Line-ups
Wakefield Trinity
Willie Poching won’t be forced into many changes but needing a win after some poor results, he may shuffle the pack around. That may be quite literally with new signing Josh Bowden available. Could he take a spot on the bench? Elsewhere, Kyle Evans should keep his spot on the wing.

Toulouse Olympique
‘S’il n’est pas cassé, ne le réparez pas’ loosely translates to ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ and that’s exactly what Toulouse’s philosophy should be here. On the back of their best win of the season against Hull KR and ahead of a huge game, Toulouse should stick rather than twist here. The only change could be the possible return of Eloi Pelissier but that would see Lucas Albert dropped.
