THE PREDICTION
Saracens were in control of a difficult test away at Leicester Tigers last Saturday as they spent the majority of the match managing awful weather conditions masterfully. However, the Tigers managed to force through a penalty try in second-half extra time that saw it end 13-12 to spoil what was looking like a tactical masterclass from their visitors. A first loss of the season will not worry Sarries head coach Mark McCall but the form of their visitors might, with Newcastle Falcons one of only a few sides to have won on their travels so far. Newcastle also put in a late try to shock in-form Wasps at home last weekend and before that they left Bath the winners in an excellent away performance. Saracens should have more than enough to come through the winners here still but this could be closer than it appears. Take the hosts to cover -12 in victory.
