Worcester Warriors Preview – Can Warriors find a win?
There have been three Premiership Rugby defeats on the spin for the Worcester Warriors.
They did open their season with a victory. That was at Sixways against the London Irish.
But it has been downhill for them since then.

The latter of those saw them have their least productive game, Worcester losing 42-5 at Sandy Park last weekend.
In the match outright in Premiership Rugby betting the win for Worcester Warriors is at 11/5 * (odds recorded 18:33 GMT on October 14th, 2021).

Since the start of last season, Worcester have claimed two league wins only (not including declared victories).
Those were both against the London Irish.
Worcester Warriors have historically struggled badly against Leicester Tigers in the Premiership.
Only against Bath have they suffered more league defeats than they have against the Tigers (L24).
There have only been six previous league wins for the Warriors against Leicester.
A Worcester +7 handicap is at 10/11 for Premiership Rugby betting* (odds recorded 18:33 GMT on October 14th, 2021).

It has been a perfect season for Leicester Tigers so far in Premiership Rugby.
