Worcester have been on a poor run of form in the Premiership recently and just before the break for European action, suffered a big blow.

On Saturday they get back to league action as they play host to Northampton Saints who are just on the fringes of the top four.

The head-to-head form doesn’t make for great reading for the Worcester Warriors.

They have lost their last eight Premiership fixtures against Saturday’s opponents Northampton.

The last win that Worcester took against them was in November 2017 and that is the only victory that the Warriors have banked against the Saints in the last dozen meetings.

At Sixways, things are a little better for them, with a W2 L4 in their last six hostings of the Saints.

This may be a close encounter on the weekend with the visitors not turning up with much current form.

A Worcester +2 handicap is at a quote of 10/11* (odds recorded 21:42 GMT on January 27th, 2022 at Bet365).

 

Northampton Saints Preview – Can the Saints find a way to win?

This doesn’t look cut and dry for Northampton Saints at all, even though they are the match favourites.

The win for Northampton is at a quote of 8/11* (odds recorded 21:42 GMT on January 27th, 2022 at Bet365).

But they have taken one victory only in their last seven matches in all competitions (L6).

So it has been really tough times for them.

But the positive from that is that the one win in the sequence came for them in their last away game.

That was a powerful 44-8 road success at Newcastle Falcons.

Since then, they have played one match, a European Champions Cup defeat against Ulster on home turf.

While recent results haven’t been great, they have a lot to play for on the domestic front.

Northampton ended the last round of action in fifth place in the Premiership table, just three points outside the top four.

It is a W7 L5 record from the Saints this season.
