Two Stobart Super League strugglers go head-to-head on Sunday as Wakefield Wildcats host the London Broncos.
The Wildcats have four wins to their name from their 14 league games to date, while the Broncos have just two.
However, one of those wins was an emphatic 36-0 success over Richard Agar's men at the Stoop earlier in the campaign.
London suffered a 42-18 loss to the Catalan Dragons at the Magic Weekend while Wakefield outgunned Castleford 32-26.
Wakefield head coach Richard Agar welcomes Oliver Wilkes back into his 19-man squad.
The prop has been out with damaged ligaments in his thumb since the victory over Salford in April and is now back in contention to face his former club.
Agar is keen for his side to secure back-to-back victories after beating the Tigers last time out.
Opportunity
"It's a good opportunity for us to get back-to-back victories but London will be thinking it's an opportunity for a win as well," remarked Agar.
"When we look at our season we look at the Castleford and London games as two of the games we feel were the real damaging and disappointing moments for us."
Broncos head coach Rob Powell is able to call on experienced duo David Howell and Jason Golden for the fixture as both have recovered from respective rib injuries.
Julien Rinaldi has also been back in full training this week but is not yet ready for match action.
Powell hopes to addition of a few players from injury can give his squad a much-needed boost, commenting: "We've got some players back in to our squad this week.
"We have trained with good intensity and we'll be looking to put in a strong performance this Sunday."
Wakefield: Mathers, Fox, Collis, Mellars, Cockayne, John, Wood, Raleigh, Lauitiiti, Southern, Washbrook, Aiton, Amor, Mariano, Kirmond, Trout, Smith, Wilkes, Sykes
London Broncos: Bailey, B. Bolger, Bryant, Channing, Clubb, Dixon, S. Bolger, Golden, Gower, Howell, Kaufusi, Melling, O'Callaghan, Randall, Rodney, Robertson, Sarginson, Wheeldon, Witt
