Third placed Leicester Tigers have won their last four PREM Rugby games. They will be confident of extending their winning run to five matches when they host bottom-placed Newcastle Red Bulls on Saturday. Find out more in our match prediction.

Leicester Tigers are six points behind leaders Northampton Saints. The top four go into the end-of-season play-offs and with six games to play, the Tigers are eight points clear of Bristol at the time of writing this preview. That gap will narrow if Bristol can beat Gloucester on Friday.

Home form has been important for Leicester this season.  All six of their home games in PREM Rugby have been won. In all competitions they have won eight home fixtures in a row, last losing to Leinster in the European Rugby Champions Cup last December.

Newcastle Red Bulls are bottom of the table with just seven league points this season. That's 39 below their opponents in this PREM Rugby fixture. The Red Bulls have only won one league game (at home to Gloucester) with the other 11 all ending in defeat. 

They have lost all six of their away league games with a points difference of -182. Since a change of coach, Newcastle haven't been winning but the defeats have not been so heavy. We tIp Newcastle to win on a +26 handicap.
