Factfile: Wigan Warriors vs Salford Red Devils
The Red Devils last visit to the DW Stadium yielded Salfordโs first victory at Wigan in 20 years as Ian Watsonโs men came away with a memorable 16-31 victory.
But, Salford have had a torrid time of it at Wigan in previous seasons. The Red Devils last victory, before this seasonโs triumph, came back in 1997 with a 14-21 victory with four Steve Blakeley goals and a Mark Lee drop-goal being the difference.
It isnโt just on the road against the Warriors where the Red Devils have struggled but with just 2 victories in their last 22 meetings with Wigan itโs fair to say Wigan are Salfordโs bogey side. Unfortunately, Salford endured a 17-game losing streak against Wigan between 2006 and 2014.
Narrow defeats to the Warriors in 2016 and 2015 were an improvement on the Red Devils visits to the DW Stadium in earlier seasons. Salford conceded 38 points or more in five consecutive visits to the DW.
The Red Devils do have several former Warriors in the side with Lee Mossop, Mark Flanagan and Logan Tomkins all having donned the Cherry and White of Wigan at some point.
Flanagan featured for the Warriors in 2009 before moving to NRL side Wests Tigers while Mossop and Tomkins had longer spells with Wigan. Tomkins spent four years with the Warriors with one being spent on loan with the Red Devils before the move was made permanent in 2016 while his brothers Sam and Joel still represent Wigan however only Sam is in this weekend’s matchday squad.
Mossop also joined Salford from Wigan however his move came at the start of this season. The former England international won both the Challenge Cup and Super League with the Warriors throughout two spells with the club spanning seven seasons which were split by a year in Australia with the Parramatta Eels.
Wigan and Salford have met on three occasion this season with Wigan winning twice and the Red Devils earning one victory. Both sides picked up wins on the oppositions patch before Wigan knocked off the Red Devils at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in last monthโs Ladbrokes Challenge Cup semi-final.
Greg Johnson has scored in two of the three meetings this season for Ian Watsonโs side while Niall Evalds grabbed a brace in the visit to the DW earlier in the season. However, it is Oliver Gildart who has dominated this fixture in 2017 scoring four tries against the Red Devils this season.
Fans can still purchase tickets for Friday nightโs game against Wigan at the DW Stadium. Supporters are also reminded that they can now buy tickets for all of the Red Devils home Super 8s games against Wakefield, Huddersfield and St Helens. Season tickets are valid for all Super 8s home games.

The former New Zealand international was swamped by fans after full-time and heโs made it clear how much heโs enjoying his time at Salford.
Vatuvei, sponsored by Malcolm Crompton, said: โIโm really enjoying myself here everybodyโs made me feel welcome and now I can concentrate on my performances on the field.
โI know how passionate the fans are over here and the least you can do is stay behind and give them a thank you.
โThank them for coming and supporting us week in and week out.
โIt was raining against Castleford on Friday but no matter the weather they were out there supporting us so that means a lot.
โWeโre grateful for all the support they offer us and all we can do is try out best out there and play the best football we can for them.
โI really enjoyed my first game at the The Salford Stadium it was great to perform in front of the home fans but, of course, it was a shame about the result.
โAll the fans, particularly the younger ones, asking for autographs and pictures after the game thatโs what itโs all about for me โ knowing theyโre enjoying watching us.
โIโve just got to continue to improve each week now and carry on doing my job for the team and hopefully the results will come.โ
