Worcester dug out an away point on a trip to Newcastle last weekend in Premiership Rugby action.

It’s back to the comforts of Sixways for them this weekend as they play host to Wasps and the Warriors are looking for their third straight win at the venue.

Wasps have some big head to head form going against the Warriors and they could do with a win right now as they are in a slump.

Worcester Warriors Preview – Can the Warriors prevail?

Worcester played out a 24-24 draw at Newcastle Falcons last weekend in Premiership Rugby.

That’s a W2 D1 L1 record that they have earned in their last four in all competitions.

In the Premiership specifically, the Warriors are on a W2 D1 L6 record.

It’s been one victory recorded by them in their last eight but that lone win in the sequence did come at home.

Both of Worcester’s league victories have been recorded at Sixways.

Those were against London Irish and Sale Sharks.

Both victories were secured by a margin of at least 12 points as well.

In the match outright for Premiership rugby betting on Saturday, Worcester Warriors are the narrow even money underdogs* (odds recorded 17:45 GMT on December 2nd, 2021).

Again if we go back to all competitions, then Worcester have won their last two at Sixways.

So they may not be totally out of this contest on the weekend.

Our betting prediction:
Wasps 1-7 winning margin
2/1

* (odds recorded 17:45 GMT on December 2nd, 2021)

 

The head to head should be mentioned at this point because it makes for terrible reading from a Worcester perspective.

The Warriors have lost their last 14 matches against Worcester in Premiership Rugby, which is some run.

Worcester have won one of their last eight home matches against Wasps in all competitions.

The last time that Worcester won back to back home league games was in November last year.

Their two home wins this season already is more than they managed in the entirety of the last campaign.

Worcester’s defence is a huge concern when any opponent gets in their 22.

Given Wasps are out of form, a Worcester +2 handicap is where the line is at for 10/11* (odds recorded 17:45 GMT on December 2nd, 2021).

 

Wasps Preview – Can Wasps snap their slump?

Wasps have fallen on some hard times lately as they are on a four-match losing streak in all competitions.

In Premiership rugby, they have gone down the last twice, losing against Harlequins and Gloucester.

Both of those losses were at home.

Out on their league travels this season in the Premiership, Wasps are W1 L2.

The lone success for Wasps in that sequence was against Bath, who are currently bottom of the table without a win.

In the match outright for Premiership Rugby betting the win for Wasps is at 5/6* (odds recorded 17:45 GMT on December 2nd, 2021).

So the bookies do have them as narrow favourites, and there is that big head to head record they have over Worcester.

This doesn’t look like a particularly easy trip to Sixways at the moment for Wasps.

It’s been four losses in their last five league games, after all, leaving them sitting on a W3 L5 record for this season.

But can they put things together on the weekend to extend their winning form against the Warriors?

 

Worcester Warriors vs Wasps Betting Advice

The away win in this fixture just takes preference because of the superior scoring power that Wasps do have over Worcester.

Granted, they are in a slump, but the Warriors have been poor defending entries into their 22 this season.

So the Wasps match outright at 5/6 is the first selection for rugby betting* (odds recorded 17:45 GMT on December 2nd, 2021).

 

Key Facts – Worcester Warriors vs Wasps Betting Tip

  • Wasps have won their last 14 matches against Worcester
  • Wasps have lost their last four in all competitions
  • Worcester Warriors have won their last two at Sixways in all competitions

 

Worcester have found a little bit of form on home soil, but it’s certainly not overall convincing enough to support them on the weekend.

But this is likely to be a game of narrow margins.

So the Wasps 1-10 winning margin at 21/10 is the other selection* (odds recorded 17:45 GMT on December 2nd, 2021).

If there is an opponent that Wasps would want to face to get out of their slump, it’s Worcester.
