Sixth-placed Gloucester Rugby will travel to face bottom-ranked Newcastle Falcons in this Premiership Rugby matchday 17 fixture on Friday. The Cherry and Whites will aim to boost their chances of qualifying for the playoffs with a win over the Falcons. Here is our prediction for the match.
With just two matches left in the regular season, Gloucester Rugby's top-four hopes are on the line heading into this match. They are three points away from the top four and could secure a playoff spot with a win on Friday.
Notably, George Skivington's side have labored lately, losing three of their last four matches. This includes a 38-19 away loss to Harlequins in their last match. However, they have been dominant over Newcastle Falcons, winning three of their last four fixtures against the one-time champions, two of which by more than 15 points.
Newcastle Falcons have struggled this season. They sit bottom of the table with 13 points and only have their pride at stake heading into this match.
As reflected in their league standing, things haven't gone well with Steve Diamond's side. They lost 75-28 against Saracens in their last match. This result extended their losing streak to six matches, four of which by staggering margins. Their last three home fixtures have also ended in defeat.
