Seventh-place Sale Sharks travel to face bottom-place Newcastle Red Bulls in this Premiership Rugby Round 17 fixture on Saturday. Newcastle Red Bulls have lost their last 13 matches, averaging a 52-point losing margin in the last four. This is why our prediction here supports the away side for a convincing victory.
Newcastle Red Bulls' underwhelming performances continued with a heavy 69–12 loss to Bath last time out, marking their 13th consecutive defeat across all competitions. Stephen Jones' side have found themselves bottom of the standings on just seven points after winning just one of their 15 Premiership matches this season.
They haven't only struggled to snap their funk, but have shipped in outrageous numbers in their last four games (all Premiership matches), averaging roughly a 52-point losing margin.
Sale Sharks have their top-eight hopes on the line heading into this match. They fell 47–33 to Leicester Tigers at home in their last outing, making it two losses in a row. These recent setbacks have left them with just a four-point cushion over ninth-place Gloucester. A win here is crucial to their Champions Cup ambitions. They have won six of their last seven games against Newcastle Red Bulls.
