THE PREDICTION
Harlequins were just edged past in a thrilling 21-20 clash away at Exeter last Saturday to see a five-point gap emerge between them. Currently in third place, Quins will be aiming to bounce back well against a Gloucester side with just one win from their 10 Premiership matches played this calendar year. The visitors were beaten 14-20 at home last weekend after a clutch win at Wasps the week before and that return to losing ways leaves them with little sign of an upset here. Quins won this fixture by 10 points in a 24-34 result earlier this season and can cover that amount again at home here against a Gloucester side who are rarely embarrassed in defeat. Take the hosts to cover -10.
