Northampton Saints have their knockout hopes on the line as they travel to face Harlequins in this 2025-26 Premiership Cup Round 8 fixture on Friday. They are third in Pool B with 15 points, while Harlequins are bottom at five points. Check out our prediction for the match below.
Harlequins finally brought their winless run in the 2025–26 Premiership Cup to an end against Saracens on Saturday. An impressive 19-point first-half lead ensured they ran out with a shock 43–40 away win against the Sarries despite a 16-point deficit in the second half.
However, Jason Gilmore's side head into Friday's contest as underdogs, having lost four of their five 2025–26 Premiership Cup matches. They have also been inconsistent at home lately, losing three of their last five fixtures at Twickenham Stoop by blowout margins.
Northampton Saints eased to an unlikely victory in their last Premiership Cup match, defeating pool leaders Leicester Tigers 40–22. That result saw them narrow the gap on the top two to just three points, with a game in hand.
Victory for Phil Dowson's side in this match will see them displace Saracens in second place and strengthen their bid to clinch Pool B's semi-final berth. They have won eight of their last nine matches across all competitions, seven of which by 14 points or more.
