Newcastle Red Bulls start off their 2025-26 Premiership Rugby campaign taking on Saracens. The hosts will look to get in gear this term with a winning start against Sarries. Here is our prediction for the match.
Newcastle Red Bulls had a torrid Premiership Rugby campaign last season. They finished bottom of the rankings with 10 points after losing all of their last eight league matches. Notably, the club’s dwindling fortunes on the field mirrored their off-field issues, including administrative turmoil and piling debt.
Now, a new dawn is in sight for the Newcastle-based outfit following the recent takeover by Red Bulls GmbH in August.
They ended their prolonged losing streak in their first match after the change of ownership, defeating Harlequins 26-14 in the Premiership Cup opener. Can they sustain this momentum against Saracens?
Saracens finished sixth in the standings last season to book their place in the Champions Cup. However, they wrapped up their campaign on a low note, losing two of their final four league matches.
They have also lost their opening two Premiership Cup matches this season, including a 49-34 defeat to Northampton Saints in their last outing. Moreover, Joe Shaw’s side have struggled on the road, losing each of their last four away fixtures.
