THE PREDICTION
Leicester Tigers lost 26-10 away at Sale Sharks last Friday but could be forgiven for taking their eye off the ball in the Premiership now with a Challenge Cup final looming. They face Montpellier on Friday 21st May and that could see key players rested here at home, where they have been excellent this season, for the visit of Harlequins. That should suit Quins down to the ground as they travel off the back of an incredible 48-46 win over Wasps on last Sunday to make it three on the spin in the Premiership. The visitors look the favourites to win this one too as they continue to mount an unlikely challenge for the title and they can cover -5 in victory here whilst the hosts prepare for their huge next game.
