Odds: 10/11 odds taken 17:16 GMT on November 24th, 2021
It has been a good season from reigning Premiership Rugby champions Harlequins, but will be looking for a response to a defeat in their last home fixture.
What makes this very interesting is that Harlequins have failed to beat London Irish in the last three meetings at the Stoop.
Can they recover to take a win over London Irish on Saturday? The Exiles arrive looking for just their second win of the campaign.

Harlequins Preview – Can Quins rediscover winning touch at home?
Reigning Premiership Rugby champions Harlequins suffered a loss in their last home fixture in the competition.
That was last October when Saracens paid a visit and won by seven points.
In the match outright for Premiership Rugby betting Harlequins are strong 2/9 odds-on favourites for the win* (odds recorded 17:16 GMT on November 24th, 2021).
There have been just two losses for Harlequins in this title-defence campaign.
One of those was against Saracens, the other away at Sale Sharks.
In their last Premiership Rugby outing, Harlequins did claim a victory as they triumphed away at Wasps.
That leaves them at W2 L2 in their last four.
The loss against Saracens incidentally, snapped a run of eleven matches unbeaten that Harlequins were on at the Stoop in the Premiership.
There’s no question about the damage that Quins can do from an attacking perceptive.
They have averaged 40 points per game at home this calendar year.
A Harlequins -11 handicap is at a quote of 10/11 for rugby betting on the weekend* (odds recorded 17:16 GMT on November 24th, 2021).
Quins are undefeated in their last three against London Irish in the top flight, winning two of those.
Surprisingly, however, Harlequins are winless in their last three home fixtures against the Exiles.
That was after winning their previous 11 at the Stoop against them.
Still, Quins have to be pencilled in as favourites here, they have averaged 4.6 tries per league game this season.
They’ve crossed for at least four tries in five of their seven matches played.
London Irish Preview – Can the Exiles hold out?
There has been one victory for London Irish this season in the Premiership but that doesn’t tell the whole story.
There have been three super-competitive drawn matches from them, and the Exiles have taken a try bonus point in each of their last three.
So they have been competitive.
They have a chance to record four straight try bonus matches for the first time in their history.
They are going to have to defy long 10/3 underdogs in the match outright to pull out the victory* (odds recorded 17:16 GMT on November 24th, 2021).
London Irish have won only one away game in the league since February.
On that occasion they claimed a victory at Exeter.
At the end of the day, the Irish have exceeded expectations from a points-scoring perceptive.
But they still have only taken one win in their W1 D3 L4 record in this campaign, so something is still missing.

London Irish have picked up one victory in their last fourteen Premiership Rugby fixtures. That’s looking back to last season too.
In each of their last three games, they have put at least 30 points on the scoreboard.
Twice this season the Exiles have been leading at the halftime break in a match, and on neither occasion did they claim a win (D1 L1).
They are facing a Harlequins side who have turned over three half-time deficits this season in the Premiership to win.
This looks like being a tall order for London Irish who are 10/11 for a +10 handicap line* (odds recorded 17:16 GMT on November 24th, 2021).
There was a thrilling 27-27 match on their last visits to the Stoop. Can the Exiles make it four unbeaten there?
Harlequins vs London Irish Betting Advice
The away form of London Irish at the Stoop is pretty good with a W2 D1 return from their last three there.
It’s been a great season from the Exiles in terms of offensive output which should make this an interesting and exciting fixture.
But it is the Harlequins -11 handicap at 10/11 that is going to be in play as they can tear teams apart* (odds recorded 17:16 GMT on November 24th, 2021).
Key Facts – Harlequins vs London Irish Betting Tip
- Harlequin sare unbeaten in three against London Irish home and away
- Harlequins have won 11 of their last 12 Premiership home games
- London Irish are unbeaten in their last three visits to the Stoop (W2 D1)
Quins will be back at full strength after the international break and they can secure the home success.
Pushing things out to a Harlequins 11-20 winning margin for a quote of 11/4 fits into rugby betting for this one* (odds recorded 17:16 GMT on November 24th, 2021).
There should be fireworks at the Stoop on Saturday and hopefully another high-scoring encounter between the two.
