Newcastle vs Harlequins Predictions - Harlequins backed for bonus point win
The upcoming clash between Newcastle Falcons and Harlequins sees the Falcons struggling with four consecutive defeats, including a harsh 61-point loss last weekend. Although Newcastle have shown improvement over last season, they remain at the bottom of the Premiership table. A win against Saracens sparked brief hope, which quickly dissipated with subsequent losses. Harlequins, currently seventh in the league, need a strong performance to aim for higher positions. With a draw against Leicester in their last game, they look to exploit Newcastle’s vulnerabilities, supported by a mostly unchanged squad.
- Newcastle have lost their last 4 matches, including a 61-point defeat.
- Harlequins are 7th with three wins out of nine in the Premiership.
- Expect minimal changes in Harlequins' squad for this critical match.

Head to Head
When these two met in January 2024, the Harlequins won 24-3 away from home.
Newcastle Form
Newcastle are struggling again this season but have vastly improved from last season. They are bottom of the table with seven losses in nine, but the two wins are more than they achieved all of last year.
At the end of November, Newcastle achieved a massive upset win over Saracens but have since lost four games in a row. Both fixtures in the Challenge Cup against Pau and Dragons ended in defeat. They returned to the Premiership with a 40-15 home loss to Bath.
Last weekend went even worse as the Falcons lost 61-0 at Northampton.
Newcastle Injuries & Team News
Newcastle have a few injury concerns and last week showed how poor their squad depth is. This will be another weekend of struggle for the Falcons.
Harlequins Form
The Harlequins are struggling this season, languishing down in seventh place with three wins, a draw and five losses in nine Premiership games. A positive result in this fixture is imperative if they have any hope of reaching the top four.
During the Champions Cup in early December, the Quins suffered a defeat at Racing 92 before thrashing the Stormers at home. They returned to the Premiership with a 14-0 away defeat to Gloucester.
Last weekend, in what was a very entertaining home fixture, the Quins drew 34-34 against the Leicester Tigers.

It has been a full week’s break for the Harlequins, so I wouldn’t expect too many changes to their side.

I am backing the Harlequins to cover the -12.5 handicap against the Newcastle Falcons.
