Harlequins FC vs Northampton Saints Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Devesh Jaganath | in Rugby Predictions
Harlequins will play host to the Northampton Tigers in week 16 of the Gallagher Premiership this Saturday at Twickenham. The hosts are fifth in the league standings while the visitors sit atop the league table. Heading into the weekend, Harlequins hold fifth place, with matches against Exeter and Bristol following their showdown with Northampton. Additionally, they have a Champions Cup semi-final against Toulouse in France next weekend, a factor worth considering for the upcoming match. Harlequins are coming off a 37-31 defeat to Sale Sharks in a thrilling match where both teams scored five tries each. Louis Lynagh (2), Raffi Quirke, Oscar Beard, and Luke Northmore scored tries for Harlequins, with Marcus Smith (2) and Jarrod Evans converting. Prior to that loss, the hosts were on a three-game winning streak, defeating Bath, Glasgow Warriors, and Bordeaux Begles. They have won seven of their last ten home games and are the favorites in this one.
Meanwhile, Northampton Saints moved a step closer to securing a playoff berth with a convincing 40-17 victory over arch-rivals Leicester Tigers In the Premiership on Saturday. The match remained tight and tense for the first hour, with the Saints holding only a narrow lead. However, Solomone Kata's red card altered the course of the game, and the hosts capitalized with tries from Robbie Smith, George Hendy, and Tom James, in addition to Curtis Langdon's earlier score and a penalty try. With one eye on next weekend’s Champions Cup semi-final, Phil Dowson has made several changes in the tight five, introducing Emmanuel Iyogun, Sam Matavesi, and Trevor Davison in the front row, while Temo Mayanavanua and Tom Lockett form a new pairing in the engine room. The Saints boast a strong away record, with six wins in their last seven games, and have won their last three encounters against this opponent, although all of these victories were achieved at home.

Our Harlequins FC vs Northampton Saints Prediction
Quins have won their last three home games against this opponent and are carrying the favourite tag into this match. However, they have let the odd home game slip this season, while Northampton have been the most consistent team across all competitions in 2023-24. With both teams keeping one eye on their respective Champions Cup fixtures next week, this feels like it could be a very tight contest, so we will opt for the underdog and the free points. Our Harlequins vs Northampton Saints prediction: Northampton Saints +3.5.
