Match Preview | Widnes visit the Eagles this Sunday

30/07/2025

The Eagles return to league action at the Steel City Stadium on Sunday afternoon, when Widnes Vikings are the visitors in Round 20 of the Betfred Championship (3pm KO).

Craig Lingard’s side will be looking to end a five-match winless run, and with the bye round last weekend, the boys will be refreshed as we approach the final seven games of the regular league campaign.

Widnes narrowly won the reverse fixture back in February, running out 10-8 winners at The DCBL Stadium, so this weekend will be all about getting revenge for the Eagles against Alan Coleman’s side.

We’re also looking forward to welcoming Team Colostomy UK to Sunday’s game, who will be providing pre-match entertainment as part of their Big Day Out 2 activities. You can catch them taking on the Eagles in Wheelchair Rugby, PDRL, Walking Rugby, and Touch Rugby across the day, all ahead of the main event at 3pm.
