THE PREDICTION
Harlequins have struggled against the top two sides in the Premiership this season but they remain 12 points away from Bristol Bears in first place after back-to-back league victories, most recently a 21-25 away at London Irish. They have enjoyed some time off for the European break but so have their opponents Wasps, who have been hard to pin down form-wise for large parts of the season. They beat Bath 39-29 last time out to snap a three-match losing streak but there is little to suggest they can make it two wins in a row here on Quins’ turf with the hosts unbeaten here in the league since Boxing Day. Take the hosts to cover -5 at home with results tightening up at the business end of the season.
