The final round of the Gallagher Premiership will see the Leicester Tigers taking on the Newcastle Falcons at Mattioli Woods Welford Road on Saturday. The Tigers are second in the league standings, while the Falcons are bottom of the table. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Leicester Tigers are in a favourable position to follow top-ranked Bath into the Playoffs, needing just one point to secure a top-four finish and set to face the basement club this week.
The Tigers rattled off impressive victories over potential playoff rivals Bristol, Harlequins and Sale in the last few weeks but were unable to overcome Bath last weekend on the road.
The hosts have won six of their last seven matches across all competitions at Mattioli Woods Welford Road and are such heavy favourites here that some bookies are not offering odds for a straight Leicester win.
Meanwhile, the Newcastle Falcons have endured another very difficult season and are set for a last-place finish in the league, having only accumulated 13 points in 17 games.
The Falcons were beaten 26-12 at home by Gloucester last weekend, marking their seventh consecutive defeat across all competitions dating back to the end of February.
The visitors' away form has been particularly poor again this season, with their last two outings ending in massive defeats to Bath and Saracens, where they conceded 130 points combined.

Our Leicester Tigers vs Newcastle Falcons Prediction
It’s been another poor season for the Newcastle Falcons, and with the team having shipped 130 points in their last two away games, it’s difficult to make much of a case for them pulling off an upset this weekend.
Leicester, meanwhile, have the best fixture this weekend, and a victory will be enough to guarantee them a spot in the Playoffs. The Tigers have won seven of their last 10 home games, and we feel they will make light work of their opponents in this one. Our Leicester Tigers vs Newcastle Falcons prediction is Leicester Tigers -29.5.
