Warrington vs Hull KR Prediction (Super League) Odds and Bets 19.09.2026

Warrington Wolves host defending champions Hull KR in a Super League eliminator, with the winner advancing to face Wigan Warriors in the semi-finals. Warrington earned home advantage by finishing third, while Hull KR qualified in sixth place.

Warrington finished the regular season with a 20-7 record and have won four of their last five matches. Their only defeat during that period came against Wakefield, while a heavily rotated team still beat Toulouse 26-14.

Sam Burgess should also have a fresher squad after resting several senior players. Ewan Irwin, Joe Philbin and Jordy Crowther were expected to return to contention, although Toff Sipley, Luke Thomas and Zach Gardner remain longer-term absentees.

Hull KR have lost four of their last five, including heavy defeats against Wigan and St Helens. However, Willie Peters rested numerous senior players during that sequence, so those results may not accurately represent the team that will start in Warrington.

The Robins also scored 748 regular-season points, 22 more than Warrington, demonstrating that they remain a dangerous attacking side despite their recent inconsistency.

Warrington Wolves vs Hull KR Prediction

Warrington’s greater consistency, home advantage and strong head-to-head record make them the preferred selection. They won both Super League meetings with Hull KR this season, recording a 34-12 home victory before winning 34-28 at Craven Park.

Hull KR did defeat the Wolves 32-12 in the Challenge Cup semi-final, meaning Warrington lead the overall 2026 series 2-1. The defending champions therefore have enough knockout experience and attacking quality to make this competitive.

The main concern for Hull KR is their recent defence. They conceded 154 points across their final five regular-season matches, an average of 30.8 per game. Although rotation and fatigue contributed, Warrington scored 34 points against them in both league meetings and should be capable of exploiting any continuing problems.

Available prices made Warrington approximately 1/2 favourites, representing an implied probability of 66.7%. Considering their recent form, improved availability and two league victories over Hull KR, that price appears reasonable. A large handicap carries more risk because of the Robins’ playoff experience, making the straight Warrington win the safer approach.
