If Huddersfield beat Wigan they will almost certainly choose the lowest ranked team which won't be Wire or Leeds. If Wigan win then the winner of Wire V Leeds will get the call and the lowest ranked team will almost certainly be the losers of our week one game.
Basically, unless the losers of our game also lose in week two, or Huddersfield lose in the first two games, we will be playing Leeds again in week three, not the final.
Only two defeats in a row from the table topping team, or a highly controversial Clubcall pick from whoever has the option will provide the opportunity for a Wire V Leeds final.
I think the only way we will see a Wire-Leeds final is if Leeds and Wigan win this weekend, leaving Leeds with clubcall - Given a choice between us and one other (whether its Huddersfield or not), then I think Leeds would avoid us, especially if this Saturday's game was a close one.
Personally, I think its a shame that we are unlikely to meet - Last year's was a good game and I still believe that we are the two best sides in the comp, especially in a one off match situation.

just don't want Huddersfield or Leeds to win.
