Northampton Saints have their knockout-stage hopes on the line as they travel to face Newcastle Red Bulls in this Premiership Cup clash on Friday. The Saints are third in Pool B standings with 20 points, while Newcastle Red Bulls are fourth with 11 points. Check out our prediction for the match below.
Newcastle Red Bulls suffered their fourth defeat in six Premiership Cup matches after a 28–19 defeat to pool leaders Leicester Tigers in their last outing. That loss also marked their fourth in a row across all competitions and weakened their chances of a top-two finish.
Interestingly, one of their two Premiership Cup victories came against Northampton Saints earlier in the campaign. However, they are likely to face a huge challenge recreating that performance on Friday, having fallen far below expectations afterwards.
Northampton Saints ensured they stayed firm in the race for a top-two finish with back-to-back wins in their recent Premiership Cup matches. These include a 40–24 away victory over Harlequins in their last fixture.
They come into this match on the back of nine wins in 10 matches across all competitions, including victories in their last four matches. Jimmies also boast a remarkable 11–0–1 record in their last 12 matches against Newcastle Red Bulls.
