Ahead of Wigan and Hull FC's Challenge Cup tie on Friday evening we take a look back at their previous two meetings this season.
Wigan made it four wins from four at the start of the 2016 Super League campaign as they came out of a tough clash at the KC Stadium with a 26-25 victory.
The Warriors struggled to hit form in spite of that run, but with a well-stocked treatment room, Shaun Wane's side ground out the win.
It was Wigan who scored early, Ben Flower being pushed over for his first of the year as the clock struck a minute, before Steve Michaels hit back for Hull 20 minutes in.
The Warriors decided 20 minutes with limited ball was enough and on the back of some aggressive running from Taulima Tautai, George Williams went through a gap to score, while some indiscipline from Jamie Shaul allowed Matty Smith to add a penalty to his two conversions.
Wigan, however, squandered a 14-point lead and trailed by four going into the final eight minutes, with a flying finish from Josh Charnley and two Smith drop goals bailing them out.
Smith's second drop goal came with 105 seconds left, moments after Marc Sneyd had cancelled out his first.
However, had Hull attacked throughout as they did for 10 second-half minutes, they would have won themselves.
Hull FC moved up to second place in Super League with a 30-16 victory over Wigan at the DW Stadium in May.
First-half tries from Sneyd, Michaels and Scott Taylor had given the visitors a 14-point advantage at half-time, a superb individual try from Oliver Gildart getting Wigan's only try of the half after 26 minutes.
Wigan fought back in the second half when, with Hull down to 12 men, Batemen crossed over for a second try after beating his man with a well-timed dummy.
Sam Tomkins, returning on his first match for the Warriors since 2013, then powered past Kirk Yeaman to ground against Hull for the second consecutive match.
Wigan looked on course for a remarkable second-half comeback but a superb individual try from Shaul completely altered the dynamic of the match.
That score was a sucker-punch for Wigan, who had dominated much of the second period, and the hosts conceded again a minute later when Pryce set up Talanoa in the corner for a spectacular diving finish.
Sneyd then kicked a late penalty to add gloss to a deserved Hull victory.
