THE PREDICTION
Worcester Warriors were hit by covid-19 once again last time out in the Premiership and they had to concede their last fixture to Gloucester without enough players to field a front row. A defaulted match is a huge shame after they grabbed their best result of the season with a 35-31 victory at home to Exeter Chiefs but they will be tentatively confident of beating travelling Newcastle Falcons here if they can find even 80% of that level. The visitors are seriously struggling in the Premiership, with 10 matches lost on the spin and 11 without a win overall. Take the hosts to win outright here, with as much as a -2 target a reasonable risk in a tight clash at the bottom.
