Leicester Tigers still hold a commanding lead at the top of the Premiership Rugby tree despite losing last weekend.

Following a defeat at Sale Sharks, they return to Welford Road on Saturday looking to get back on track.

The leaders play host to Worcester Warriors who have not tasted success in the Premiership for a long while now.

Leicester Tigers Preview – Tigers to bounce back

For the second time only this season in the Premiership, Leicester suffered a loss last weekend.

That was on a visit to the AJ Bell in which the Sale Sharks got the better of them.

After going so deep into the season undefeated, stringing an 11-match winning streak together, it’s been back to back defeats for them.

Their losses have come against Wasps and Sale, both away fixtures.

It means that the Leicester Tigers have won all home fixtures this season in all competitions.

In the match outright for rugby betting on the weekend, Leicester are 1/50 odds-on* (odds recorded 19:32 GMT on February 3rd, 2022 at Sportingbet).

That is obviously not worth entertaining at all.

The last time that Leicester Tigers lost three straight league fixtures was in May last year.

But they haven’t lost at Welford Road since Bristol claimed a win there towards the end of the previous campaign.

The head to head form reads well for a Leicester success on the weekend as well.

Our betting prediction:
Leicester 21-30 winning margin
3/1

* (odds recorded 19:32 GMT on February 3rd, 2022 at Sportingbet)

 

Leicester Tigers have won their last four in a row against Worcester in the Premiership.

On home turf they have only lost two previous Premiership fixtures against the Warriors.

Those were in 2017 and 2018.

It is an eight-match winning streak that Leicester are on at home in all competitions this season.

Leicester have scored at least 29 points in four of their last five.

On Saturday they’re hosting the team with the worst defensive record in this season’s Premiership.

A Leicester Tigers -22 handicap is at a quote of 10/11* (odds recorded 19:32 GMT on February 3rd, 2022 at Sportingbet).

 

Worcester Warriors Preview – Tough road trip for the Warriors

It is a three-match losing streak that Worcester Warriors are riding in Premiership Rugby action.

Their last success was by a single-point margin against Wasps at Sixways in early December.

It is a W3 D1 L9 record for Worcester in this season’s top flight.

Bath are the only ones with a worse return than that for the campaign.

But no one has a worse defensive record in this season’s Premiership rugby than Worcester.

They have conceded at an average of 34 points per game.

That immediately puts them on the back foot of course.

In the match outright for rugby betting, Worcester are 12/1 underdogs* (odds recorded 19:32 GMT on February 3rd, 2022 at Sportingbet)

It is very difficult to see them getting into this.

There was a bit of cheer for them in their last road game.

The Warriors claimed a 10-point margin win at Zebre in the European Challenge Cup.

Worcester Warriors, however, have not won away in the Premiership since landing a win at London Irish in September 2000.

That recent win at Zebre is the only road win in any competition for them since then.

In four of their last six away matches in the competition, Worcester have conceded at least 35 points.

Even though there have been those blips for Leicester recently, it’s hard to see how Worcester come up with the goods against them.

 

Leicester Tigers vs Worcester Warriors Betting Advice

This should be just about as routine of a home win for Leicester Tigers as they are going to get this season.

There are certainly worse fixtures that they could have got at the start of this period when players are away on international duty.

The Leicester -22 handicap line can probably be pushed at even money* (odds recorded 19:32 GMT on February 3rd, 2022 at Sportingbet).
