Bottom-placed Harlequins host fourth-place Newcastle Red Bulls in this Pool B’s final round of matches in the Premiership Cup on Saturday. Can they overcome the Newcastle-based outfit to wrap up their pool-stage campaign on a winning note? Here is our prediction.

Harlequins’ Premiership Cup pool-stage campaign has been nothing short of a disappointment. A run of six defeats and just one victory has left them rooted to the bottom of the pool on eight points – 17 points behind the top two. 

They come into this fixture on back-to-back defeats in the competition, including a 33–27 loss to Leicester Tigers in their last outing. Nevertheless, the Quins will be confident of a positive result in this clash, having won 10 of their last 11 matchups with Newcastle Red Bulls.

For Newcastle Red Bulls, this clash presents an opportunity to snap their five-match losing run across all competitions, including a 49–21 home defeat to Northampton Saints in their last Premiership Cup match. 

They have lost five of their seven Premiership Cup matches and ride a four-match losing streak on the road coming into this clash. Moreover, each of their last seven trips to face Harlequins has ended in defeat, all of which by double digits.
