Harlequins vs Leicester Predictions - Harlequins backed to cover against Tigers

I’m backing the hosts to cover the -6 handicap.

Harlequins beat Leicester 29-25 away in November last year.

The Harlequins come into this Rugby Premiership match in fine form having won their last four matches in all competitions. They are currently second on the Rugby Premiership table.

The Quins beat Gloucester and Newcastle in their last two Premiership games before turning their attention to over the last two weeks. They thrashed Cardiff 54-15 in the Challenge Cup before an impressive 47-19 home win over Ulster last weekend.

Like all the Premiership clubs, Quins are missing their England internationals who play in the Six Nations next weekend.

Leicester are currently seventh on the Rugby Premiership table, seven points off their opponents in second place. 

The last time the Tigers featured in the Rugby Premiership was in their very good home 19-10 win over Saracens. Over the last two weeks Leicester have lost both games in the Champions Cup.

The Tigers lost 45-12 to the defending champions, La Rochelle before losing 27-10 to last year’s runners-up, Leinster at home.

Leicester are also missing a couple of players to international duty.
