Newcastle Falcons fell to their third league defeat in their last four outings as they were brushed aside by Sale Sharks last weekend.

They have two of their last three league outings at Kingston Park, however.

Will they handle themselves against the visiting Bath who had their mini-revival cut short last weekend in a loss against reigning champions Exeter.

Newcastle Falcons Preview – Can the Falcons upset Exeter?

Newcastle lost 16-31 at Sale last weekend and struggled to get themselves in the contest.

That leaves them with a W1 L3 record in their last four league games, so they are struggling a little bit.

But they are going into this fixture at Kingston Park on Saturday as the 5/6 odds-on favourites* (odds taken 20:30 GMT, Wednesday, 10th March).

It has been back-to-back home wins for Newcastle in the topflight after all, the victories happening against Harlequins and Gloucester.

The former of those wins was an excellent victory for the Falcons against an in-form team.

From their 9 league fixtures played this season, Newcastle are W5 L4.

But sizing up their overall form now, Newcastle have won only once since Round 6 in the Premiership, and that was that victory over Quins.

But on home turf, they have lost one only which was against Exeter in Round 8.

So they are definitely carrying a good amount of home form with them.

Our betting prediction:
Bath 1-5 winning margin
9/2

Bet at Betway

(odds taken 20:30 GMT, Wednesday, 10th March)

 

Newcastle are W3 L1 this season on home turf in Premiership rugby.

Of the three wins at Kingston Park that they have taken, two of them were by a margin of three points or fewer.

So we aren’t expecting Newcastle to really come out and light up the scoreboard at all.

They are the second-lowest scoring team in the Premiership as it stands.

A Newcastle -1 handicap is at the even money mark in rugby betting* (odds taken 20:30 GMT, Wednesday, 10th March).

The bookies clearly think that there is going to be very little to choose between the two sides on Saturday.

 

Bath Preview – Can Bath get back to winning ways?

Bath had a terrible first half of the season, but they had just started to turn the tide recently with a three-match winning streak.

That was snapped last weekend as they couldn’t get any change out of the visit of Exeter at the Rec.

But this game surely has to be on their radar and in the match outright the victory for Bath is at a quote for 21/10* (odds taken 20:30 GMT, Wednesday, 10th March).

In their last away game, Bath squeezed out a victory at Northampton.

That leaves them with back to back away wins in the top flight, the other success happening at Sale.

Overall this season Bath hold a W4 L7 record from their eleven matches played.

The away portion of that record is W3 L3. Two of those wins were by a 5-point margin or fewer.

So again, a tight fixture is expected but where this could fall down for Bath is in defence.

They do have the upper hand over Newcastle in terms of attack, but Bath have conceded at an average of 30 points per league game this season.

So there are going to be gaps there that get exploited which makes this game interesting.

Bath suffered a 12-19 home defeat against Newcastle earlier in the season.

That result leaves the West Country side with only one win in their last six encounters with the Falcons in Premiership Rugby.

That lone win in the sequence happened at Kingston Park in April 2015.

This is a really interesting game, with Bath holding a bit of form on the road, taking on one of the better defences in the top flight.

 

Newcastle Falcons vs Bath Betting Advice

What a game this could be. Bath have done very well away from home recently, collecting back to back narrow wins at Sale and Northampton.

Those weren’t the easiest of games and we think that the visitors may be able to spring a surprise here and get the four points.

So we are going straight to the outright for the even money quote on the away win* (odds taken 20:30 GMT, Wednesday, 10th March).

 

Key Facts – Newcastle Falcons vs Bath Betting Tip

  • Newcastle Falcons have won once since Round 6 of the Premiership
  • Newcastle Falcons are W3 L1 at Kingston Park this season
  • Bath have won three of their last four league games

 

Bath should hold an attacking edge in this one and we think that they can scrape something together. Their defence isn’t in great shape, but Newcastle are more limited in attack.

We are considering that they have won three of their last four whereas Newcastle have won once since round six.

We would push for a Bath 1-5 winning margin for a quote 0f 9/2 in a search for some longer odds* (odds taken 20:30 GMT, Wednesday, 10th March).

Their last two away wins have been by five points or less.
