THE PREDICTION
Worcester Warriors lost their eighth game in a row with a 41-24 defeat away to Leicester Tigers last Saturday. They will hope for a better performance at home to struggling Wasps but the visitors were stung in a 17-22 defeat at home to in-form Northampton Saints last time out and will be looking for a bounce-back performance. The visitors came very close to levelling their match last week but will be pleased of a winnable fixture here to get things back on track and they can cover -7 on the road. The Warriors have not won a game in which they have taken to the field since the opening day of the season.
