Newcastle vs Saracens Predictions

Newcastle Red Bulls and their fans will be up for this game after getting a much-needed cash injection over the summer. It is a tough game but I fancy the hosts at +5.5.

Head to Head

Saracens lead 4-1 in their last five matches against Newcastle. Their last encounter, on 10 May 2025, Saracens thrashed Newcastle 75-28.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle are perennial strugglers in the Rugby Premiership, finishing bottom in most recent campaigns. Last season, they could only muster two victories from 18 matches as they finished 10th with 13 points, 16 behind second last.

However, it has been an interesting summer up north for the Falcons. They have been taken over by Red Bull, now known as Newcastle Red Bulls, so finally the club has some money to invest.

There is sure to be some improvement this season, but I wouldn’t expect any major change in terms of results. More competitive, yes but it may take another season or two for them to build the squad they want.

Newcastle Team News

With Red Bull adding some much-needed cash, Newcastle have already signed a few key players. This should immediately lift the mood around the club and will likely get them some better results.

Saracens Form

Saracens had a poor season in the Premiership last time out, finishing sixth with 56 points. With 10 wins and eight defeats, they were two points off the playoffs.

While it was a close call until the final day, Saracens are not a club that chases top four but rather top two. This season they will want to stamp some authority on the league, starting with a trip to Newcastle.

Saracens Team News

Sarries have a strong squad, littered with internationals from around the world, including English internationals like Elliot Daly, Jamie George, Maro Itoje and Max Mullins. With the squad at their disposal, they should be challenging for the title.
