After a dramatic draw on the opening weekend, Exeter Chiefs will look to bounce back as they host Newcastle Red Bulls (formerly Newcastle Falcons) in this Premiership Rugby matchday two fixture on Saturday. Can the Chiefs return to winning ways against the visitors? Here is our prediction for the match.
After a largely underwhelming campaign last term, Exeter Chiefs have underlined their intent for a stronger showing in the English top tier this season. They began their campaign with an impressive 23-14 victory over title-holders Bath in Premiership Cup opener.
This was followed by another elite-level performance against last season’s Champions Cup finalists Northampton Saints in their Premiership Rugby opener last week. The Exeter club stunned the Northampton crowd with 26 unanswered points in the second half, to earn a dramatic 33-33 draw. They have won four of their last five matches against Newcastle Red Bulls.
Newcastle Red Bulls got off to a promising start, defeating Harlequins 26-14 in their Premiership Cup opener. However, their persistent misfortunes were far from over. They were humbled at home by 14-man Saracens at the weekend, losing 39-17.
This result marked their ninth defeat in 10 matches dating back to last season. They have also lost nine of their last 10 away matches, mostly by wide margins.

Our Exeter RC Chiefs vs Newcastle Falcons Prediction
Apart from their away disadvantage, Newcastle Red Bulls enter this match with an added setback following the sack of former manager Steve Diamond after the defeat to Saracens. New manager, Alan Dickens, who took charge a few days ago, is unlikely to field a strong side that can challenge Exeter Chiefs.
Meanwhile, Exeter Chiefs have shown signs of a turnaround this season after their disappointing campaign last term. With home advantage, we tip the Exeter-based outfit to comfortably dispatch the struggling visitors. Our Exeter Chiefs vs Newcastle Red Bulls prediction is Exeter Chiefs -12.5 handicap points.
