Harlequins are anticipated to triumph over Leicester Tigers at home, based on their recent strong performances and Leicester's struggles on the road. With Harlequins aiming to cover a -3.5 handicap, the game promises to be an intriguing encounter. Despite past struggles against Leicester, Harlequins' current form, including a decisive 61-10 victory over the Stormers, sets the stage for a potential win. Leicester, on a three-match away losing streak, may find it challenging to reclaim their form. Expert predictions favor Harlequins to win by more than 3.5 points.
