The Newcastle Falcons are on a six-match losing streak in Premiership Rugby now and are now really struggling along.

However, they may have a chance at a revival on Saturday as they host bottom-side Bath.

Bath have fallen back into losing ways having dropped each of their last three Premiership Rugby matches.

Newcastle are sat on a W5 D1 L9 record this season in the Premiership.

Newcastle have averaged 16 points per home fixture this season.

The Falcons are a quote of 4/7 odds-on in the match outright for Saturday* (odds recorded 17:48 GMT on February 25th, 2022 at William Hill).

The last time that the Newcastle Falcons collected a league victory was against Exeter in early November.

It has been a six-match winning streak for them since then and they are winless in seven.

In two of their last three home league defeats, they have conceded at least 32 points.

The last time that the Falcons were on a seven-match winless streak in the league, they snapped that with a victory at home to Bath.

A Newcastle -3 handicap is at 10/11 odds in Premiership Rugby odds* (odds recorded 17:48 GMT on February 25th, 2022 at William Hill).

 

Bath Preview – Can Bath triumph at Kingston Park?

It has been a W2 L14 record for Bath in Premiership Rugby this season.

Since claiming a surprise victory over Harlequins in January, Bath have fallen to a three-match losing streak.

In the match outright, the win for Bath is at 6/4* (odds recorded 17:48 GMT on February 25th, 2022 at William Hill).

In all competitions, Bath have lost eight of their last ten (W2).

Away from home Bath have slumped to a ten-match losing streak in the Premiership.

That was their victory at Kingston Park against Newcastle Falcons last season.

In their current three-match losing streak in the league, Bath have conceded at least 40 points in two of them.

Newcastle Falcons vs Bath Betting Advice

This could just go either way between two teams who are badly out of form.

But it is Newcastle that are just going to shade preference and they are 4/7 odds-on favourites* (odds recorded 17:48 GMT on February 25th, 2022 at William Hill).

That is only because, before this current slump at Kingston Park, they were in good form there.
