Harlequins FC vs Saracens FC Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Devesh Jaganath | in Rugby Predictions
Harlequins will host the London Derby in the Gallagher Premiership against old rivals Saracens this Saturday. The hosts are the current league leaders, while the defending champions are down in sixth place. It is still a very compact table with just five points separating these sides. Harlequins come into this match with all the momentum. They beat Leicester 29-25 last weekend to record their fourth consecutive win after five rounds. Their only defeat in that time came in week one against Gloucester. Since then, they have also beaten Exeter, Bristol and Newcastle. Harlequins won their last two home games against this opponent, with the most recent coming last month in the Premiership Rugby Cup. Still, against a side that is packed with international talent, the hosts are the marginal underdogs in this one.
Meanwhile, Saracens endured a very poor start to the Premiership. They were missing several players who were away on international duty at the 2023 Rugby World Cup and were beaten in their first two games. However, they seem to have found their rhythm of late and will also welcome back their captain Owen Farrell in this one. Sarries were too good for The Falcons last week and ran out as 50-12 winners in a lopsided match. That was their third consecutive win in the competition following victories over Gloucester and Leicester. Undoubtedly, they are a side on the up, and now that they are restored to full strength, the visitors will be looking to track down the sides above them. Sarries have been the dominant side in this encounter over the years and will need a victory to keep up with the league leaders.
