Head to Head
Sale have won five of their last six matches against Newcastle, including doing the double on them last season.
Sale Form
Sale Sharks made a winning start to the Rugby Premiership, beating Gloucester 27-10 in the opening round. After two rounds, they are sixth on the table.
Last weekend, away from home against the defending champions, Bath, Sale gave a very good account of themselves. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t enough as they lost the game 28-16.
Newcastle Form
Newcastle have endured a shockingly poor few years in the Rugby Premiership. They consistently finish at the bottom of the table and struggle to a couple of wins a year, if that.
This season has a bit more optimism with the Red Bull takeover, but it is still very new, and the owners have not had the time to make the required changes.
The season has started with two defeats for Newcastle. On the opening weekend, they lost 29-17 to Saracens at home and last week they went down 38-15 at Exeter.
Verdict
Sale Sharks are backed to cover the -21.5 handicap.
