THE PREDICTION

Gloucester put in one of their best performances to string together back-to-back wins for the first time this season in the English Premiership and put three points between themselves and Worcester at the foot of the table. Whilst relegation is cancelled this year no side will want to finish last and Gloucester will be particularly pleased to have turned what has been a good couple of months in terms of performances into some actual points on the board. This will be a fascinating test as they welcome Leicester Tigers who have won three of their last five matches in the league but have struggled to string any two together at all this season. They edged an ill-disciplined London Irish last Friday by 33-32 at the death but they have yet to win away from home in the league this season. Gloucester’s recent form is good enough to beat the Tigers at Kingsholm and they look able to cover -5 here in doing so.
