THE PREDICTION
Reigning Premiership champions Harlequins look in excellent form right now with a 17-20 victory at Gloucester last Sunday their fourth win on the spin across all competitions. Quins have so far avoided a significant covid outbreak with travelling Exeter Chiefs also steering clear of major upsets to their squad over the winter period to set up a likely enthralling clash on Saturday. The visitors beat West Country rivals Bristol 19-13 last Saturday for a third-straight win in the Premiership and four away wins in the league this season suggests they could sneak a vital victory here. There are so many tight fixtures this week that an accumulator looks a no go but taking Quins to edge this with a +1 concession seems a suitably cautious move.
