This Premiership Rugby Round 2 fixture sees Newcastle Red Bulls host Leicester Tigers at Kingston Park on Saturday. Leicester Tigers have dominated recent league meetings between the two sides, which is why we back the visitors for a comfortable victory in our prediction.
Newcastle Red Bulls trailed by wide margins in both halves before suffering a heavy 59–26 defeat at Northampton Saints in their Premiership Rugby opener last week. Tommy Freeman and James Pater both scored hat-tricks for the hosts, while Christian Wade grabbed a brace for the visitors.
Notably, last week's opening-round loss saw the Newcastle-based outfit suffer defeat in nine of their last 10 league matches, stretching back to last season, with eight of those defeats coming by huge margins. That run includes three defeats in their last four Premiership Rugby home fixtures.
Leicester Tigers also made a disappointing start to the league season, losing 40–38 at home to Saracens in their Premiership Rugby opener last week. However, they enter this match as favorites.
The Tigers have won nine of their last 10 meetings with Newcastle Red Bulls across cup and league games, including six consecutive Premiership Rugby wins. They also won their last four away matches against Newcastle.
