This hasn’t been a great season in the Premiership for either Wasps or Worcester.

The two will clash on Saturday with Wasps, who narrowly lost out in a 94-point thriller against Harlequins last week, as the current odds-on favourites.

Worcester were hammered by Exeter last weekend, leaving them not having physically won a match since the opening weekend of the season in the Premiership.

Wasps Preview – Wasps good for the victory

Wasps looked on course for a very good win away from home at Harlequins last weekend.

But they were denied by a converted try in the dying moments, losing 48-46 in the game of the season.

That leaves them with four losses in their last five first team fixtures.

Will they get things back to winning ways at home against Worcester on the weekend?

Probably. Wasps are the 1/9 odds-on favourites in the match outright for rugby betting* (odds recorded 23:30 GMT on 13th May 2021).

It has been only one success for Wasps in their last four rounds of Premiership action.

That victory happened in their last home game, a 10-point margin success over Bath.

That was the first home win that Wasps had recorded since January 2nd.

As they take on the bottom side on Saturday, there has to be a good opportunity at maximum points for them.

Our betting prediction:
Wasps 8-14 Winning Margin
13/5

* (odds recorded 23:30 GMT on 13th May, 2021)

 

The home form of Wasps this season is W3 L6, so not particularly productive.

Strangely enough two of the three wins were against the current top two of Exeter and Bristol.

Only one of Wasps’ home losses this season have been by a margin of more than 10 points.

As for their margins of victory, two of the three have been earned by a double-figure margin.

A Wasps -14 handicap option is at 10/11 for Premiership Rugby betting on Saturday* (odds recorded 23:30 GMT on 13th May 2021).

Wasps earned a 17-13 away victory at Worcester Warriors earlier this season.

 

Worcester Preview – Struggles continue for the Warriors

Worcester paid a visit to Exeter last weekend and they left empty-handed from the fixture.

It was a heavy 41-10 drubbing that they took at Sandy Park.

Their defence has been crumbling badly lately.

In each of their last five fixtures, Worcester have conceded at least 35 points.

It’s been at least 41 points conceded by them in four of the last five.

In the match outright for rugby betting a win for Worcester is at 11/2* (odds recorded 23:30 GMT on 13th May 2021).

It does not look like a probable outcome in the fixture really.

Since their declared win at home against Newcastle back in February, Worcester have lost eight straight games.

The only actual win they have earned this season on the pitch was on the opening weekend of the season.
