The second round of the Gallagher Premiership gets underway this weekend with Saracens looking for a big bounce back against Bath.
Friday 20 October
Newcastle 31/20 | Draw 20/1 | Gloucester 52/100
Newcastle fell to a 26-34 defeat at the Rec last week while Gloucester bagged a one-point win over Quins. This will be a tight one at Kingston Park but the Cherry and Whites should have the goods by a narrow margin.
Get on Newcastle (5.5) 17/20.
Saturday 21 October
Northampton 12/25 | Draw 22/1 | Bristol 31/20
Saints fell to a five-point defeat to Sale in Manchester in round one and will be up against it facing a Bristol outfit fresh off beating Leicester 25-14 at Ashton Gate. While they should manager to earn a positive result, it won’t be by much.
Get on the Bears at (5.5) 3/4.
Saracens 52/100 | Draw 20/1 | Bath 31/20
Sarries, obviously missing so many England stars, conceded 11-tries in a comprehensive 10-65 hammering to Chiefs at Sandy Park. They take on a Bath outfit here that just earned a solid eight-point win over Newcastle and who will certainly give Mark McCall’s a good run.
This should be another tight affair, and the rejuvenated visitors could well be on the right end of it at the end of the eighty.
Get on at Bath 31/20.
Leicester 3/5 | Draw 20/1 | Sale 27/20
Tigers were beaten 14-25 away in round one against the Bears, while Sale earned a five-point win over Saints at home. Again the home side is favoured to win here and in this case it would probably be wise to have a small strike on Leicester.
Get on Sale (+3.5) 4/5.
Sunday 22 October
Harlequins 52/100 | Draw 20/1 | Exeter 31/20
Quins could come unstuck against high-flying Exeter here considering the latter’s routing of Saracens a week ago. The hosts fell at Gloucester 28-29 a week ago and may be hard-pressed to stop a red hot Chiefs outfit.
Quins at (4.5) 4/5.
