Lions vs Newcastle Falcons Prediction & Betting Tips - Challenge Cup

 by Nella Wagah | in Challenge Cup Prediction

Having had contrasting fortunes in their opening games, Lions host Newcastle Falcons on Saturday in the Challenge Cup. Victory in their opening Challenge Cup game leaves Lions third on four points while Newcastle, a place below, have a point. A memorable start in the competition saw Lions beat French side USA Perpignan 12-28. The victory came despite the Lions fielding a second-string team as they look to challenge on all fronts. The South Africans have steadied their ship after a rocky start to the season, picking three wins in the last four games. The run has seen them climb to ninth in the United Rugby Championship with a point separating them from a place in the quarters.

Falcons’ Challenge Cup tournament was off to a sour start as they lost 19-24 to Montpellier but collected a bonus point. Their next encounter however will see them making their first-ever trip to South Africa to face Lions. Falcons have posted a wretched start to the season and are yet to taste victory in Premiership Rugby. This form sees them anchored at the foot of the table with just four points from eight games. The English side faces an uphill battle against the Lions who will have their big guns fresh after rest in their last game.
