Premiership Rugby Preview – 3.00 pm kick off
The Quins will be looking for a little bit of home cheer on Sunday as things have not been going as well as expected for them. There is not going to be an easy fixture for them at the Stoop with Gloucester paying a visit, however. The Cherry & Whites won this corresponding fixture last season.

Harlequins News & Form
It has been just one league win for Harlequins this season and that was in round two with a victory at the Stoop over Bristol. It has been just one home defeat in their last six in all competitions, so the Quins have that going for them. This has the look of being a tight duel with Gloucester on Sunday.
Quins had mixed fortunes in their recent European Rugby Champions Cup fixtures, losing heavily at Clermont and then edging Bath back on home soil. There has just been something missing from them in attack this season, and of the top nine teams in the current Premiership standings, Harlequins have the worst defensive record.

Gloucester News & Form
But then Gloucester, after a positive start haven’t been explosive on the points board. They are actually the second-lowest scoring team in the league at the moment. They are on a four-match losing streak as well, back to back Premiership defeats against Leicester and Saracens being followed up with narrow European defeats against Toulouse and Montepellier. So they are just feeling a bit of pressure at the moment. But the Cherry & Whites have collected two league wins this season including a win at Sale in their opening league game of the season. But that is their only road victory in their last eight across all competitions.

Harlequins vs Gloucester Prediction
There is something in this for the Cherry & Whites. Their defence has been good on the domestic front in terms of having conceded the fewest tries of all teams in the league this season. With Harlequins not being the greatest in the attack, this is probably going to be a tight game. It should just go with home advantage, but Gloucester can get close.
