THE PREDICTION
Gloucester had their promising two-match winning streak snapped by Premiership leaders Bristol Bears last Monday away from home but the return of limited fans in stadiums went some way to creating that result and the show is on the other foot here. The hosts had previously beaten Newcastle Falcons and then thrashes Northampton Saints on the road to finally accrue some points from good performances and in Louis Rees-Zammit they have a star hunting a Lions start. London Irish have lost their last four matches and look ready for the season to be over. Away from home and in front of limited Gloucester fans we could see the return of home advantage here. Take the hosts to cover -7.
