Saracens Form

Saracens crossed the try line twice in the first half against Harlequins last weekend, but went into half-time trailing 26-10.

Sarries added a try to their tally in the second half, but came away empty-handed, losing 33-15 away to Harlequins.

Before that performance, the Men in Black defeated Leicester Tigers 40-38 away from home in their PREM season opener and lost 21-17 to Sale Sharks at home before beating Bristol 30-7 at home.

Saracens are fifth in the Premiership Rugby standings with 11 points from four games.

Saracens were not at their best in their previous fixture but have an opportunity to secure all the points on offer when they host Newcastle, as they have lost 36 consecutive times away from home and they have defeated the Red Bulls five times in a row.

Newcastle Form

The Newcastle Red Bulls did not trouble the scoreboard in a low-scoring first half against Sale Sharks last weekend, going into the break trailing 3-0.

However, the home side scored two converted tries and a penalty in the second half to secure a 17-3 victory over Sale Sharks.

Earlier in their PREM campaign, Newcastle lost 59-26 away to Northampton Saints, 24-19 at home to Leicester Tigers, and 34-28 away to Exeter.

The Red Bulls are eighth in the Premiership Rugby table with eight points after four rounds.

Newcastle will be pleased to have secured the first league win of the season, but they are going to have to play well to win away from home, as Saracens have been in solid form at home and they have lost their last 18 visits to their opponents' stadium.
