The Newcastle Falcons will look to change their abysmal form in the Gallagher Premiership when they host The Bristol Bears at Kingston Park this Friday evening. The Falcons became the third team in history to lose all their league matches last season, an unforgettable 18 run loss, while The Bears will look to improve on their fifth place finish last season and qualify for the playoffs.Lets get into the match prediction.
Newcastle had finished their 2023-24 campaign stone last, being completely outplayed in their last game of the season against Gloucester where they lost 54-14.
That result had seen them record their seventh consecutive loss across all competitions. With their only win in 2024 coming against the French outfit, USA Perpignan back in January.
The Falcons have been equally disappointing at Kingston Park, having lost all of their last 10 matches at home, a result that seems quite likely to repeat itself on Friday night according to the latest odds.
The Bears, meanwhile, managed to end their season on a high when they dominated the Harlequins to record a 28-53 win to end their season.
That win saw them add to the impressive run of form that Bristol had been building, losing just one game over the past seven matches in all competitions.
With four wins out of five matches on the road, the Bears look to be in good standing to make easy work of what seems like a formality against this opponent.

Our Newcastle Red Bulls vs Bristol RC Bears Prediction
Newcastle will want to put last season behind them and make a positive start to this campaign, but with the way that Bristol have been dispatching their opponents lately, this seems like a near impossible outcome.
A 71 point difference was what was left when these two sides last faced each other, and with Bristol looking likely to record another standout performance we feel that this gap in class will show itself once again. Our Newcastle Falcons vs Bristol Bears prediction: Bristol Bears -6.5!
