Sixth-placed Sale Sharks will look to bounce back when they host bottom-placed Newcastle Red Bulls (formerly Newcastle Falcons) in this Premiership Rugby matchday three fixture on Friday. Can the Sharks overcome the struggling visitors? Here is our prediction for the match.
Sale Sharks got off to a winning start in Premiership Rugby this season, seeing off Gloucester Rugby by 17 points. However, they were pegged back to defeat by Bath in a 44-point thriller at the weekend. The Sharks held the hosts to a 7-7 draw in the second half, but a 12-point deficit at halftime proved decisive as they fell 28-16 to the defending champions at full time.
Nevertheless, Marco Bortolami's men have every reason to be confident entering this match. They have won their last six home matches, including five of their last six encounters with Newcastle Red Bulls.
Newcastle Red Bulls will be looking for their first Premiership Rugby win of the season after losing their opening two matches. This includes a 38-15 defeat to Exeter Chiefs at the weekend.
Notably, the Newcastle club have struggled on the road, losing each of their last six away matches, four of which by wide double-digit margins. They have also lost each of their last seven visits to Sale Sharks.
