Eighth-placed Northampton Saints will travel to face bottom-placed Newcastle Falcons in this Premiership Rugby matchday 14 fixture on Friday. Can the Jimmies boost their chances of finishing in the top eight with a win over the Falcons? Follow our prediction for the match below.
This match will be a make-or-break tie for Newcastle Falcons. Languishing at the bottom of the table with just 10 points, the Newcastle-based side trail their matchday 14 opponents by a gaping 18 points. A loss on Friday will be a double blow for the team – denting their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season and weakening their bid to escape relegation play-offs.
Notably, they have lost their last three matches. This includes a narrow 17-15 away loss to Exeter Chiefs in their last game and back-to-back home defeats against Bath and Sale Sharks, respectively.
Northampton Saints are struggling domestically. They are winless in their last three domestic fixtures. However, they have won their last two matches (both Champions Cup knockout fixtures). This includes an impressive 51-16 Champions Cup quarter-final win over Castres Olympique in their last match.
Notably, Phil Dowson's side are in a tight race with ninth-placed Exeter Chiefs for a top-eight finish in the league standings. A win on Friday could see them open a 12-point gap over Rob Baxter's side.
