Newcastle Falcons vs Sale Sharks Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Devesh Jaganath | in Rugby Predictions
The Newcastle Falcons and the Sale Sharks will square off in the Gallagher Premiership on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are bottom of the table while the visitors are sixth. Amidst a forgettable season marked by lackluster performances, last Sunday was yet another disappointing outing for Newcastle Falcons. Their crushing 85-14 defeat against Bristol Bears epitomized the formidable challenge the northeast team faces. Even if Steve Diamond’s squad possessed exceptional talent, they stood little chance against the dominant green and white side. Conceding their fourth try within the first 15 minutes of play set the stage for two new records at Ashton Gate: Bristol's largest-ever Premiership victory and the fastest attainment of maximum points in 20 years. While Bristol surged into playoff contention, Newcastle found themselves grappling with their 15th consecutive league loss of the season. The Falcons must now regroup, with Elliott Obatoyinbo set to return among the players for Sunday's match.
Arron Reed marked his 100th appearance with two tries as a vibrant Sale team outmaneuvered Harlequins to secure a thrilling 10-try victory. Captain Ben Curry, flanker Sam Dugdale, and scrum-half Raffi Quirke also found their way over the try line for Alex Sanderson's squad, boosting Sale's playoff aspirations significantly. The Manchester outfit has surged from eighth to sixth in a fiercely contested Premiership table, while their opponents from London have slipped out of the top four to fifth position. With the race for the top four poised to go down to the wire, a loss would have posed a significant challenge for the Sharks, but their victory has thrust them back into contention. Yet, a crucial aspect for their playoff ambitions will hinge on their ability to enhance their performance away from home. Sale has struggled to secure a victory in any of their last seven away games across all competitions, a streak dating back to the beginning of November last year.
