The reverse fixture between Leicester Tigers and Harlequins earlier in the season ended in a rare draw for rugby (34:34). What are the chances of history repeating itself?
Leicester Tigers
The likelihood of another draw stands at around 3.33%, yet in our view, that figure might slightly underestimate the true probability. In the corresponding fixture last season, Leicester Tigers edged past Harlequins by a single point (20:19), and that was on the road. Notably, in the last five head-to-head encounters, the hosts have not claimed a single win. Still, none of the away victories came by more than eight points.
Harlequins
Which side holds the upper hand at this stage — Leicester Tigers or Harlequins? The answer is clearly the former. Leicester Tigers currently sit second in the standings with 46 points, while Harlequins are down in seventh with 38. Just two rounds ago, the gap was slimmer, but back-to-back defeats have widened the divide. First came a heavy away loss to league leaders Bath Rugby (28:47), followed by a disappointing home defeat at Twickenham Stoop to sixth-placed Sale Sharks (29:43). In between, they suffered a crushing European Champions Cup elimination against Leinster Rugby, who proved a class above with a 0:62 scoreline.
Leicester Tigers vs Harlequins Prediction
Harlequins are on a three-match losing run. Can they end that streak against a Leicester Tigers side that just beat second-placed Bristol Bears away from home (36:19)? We think not. This looks set to be the Tigers’ first home win in six meetings with Harlequins. That said, we’re backing a conservative spread in favour of the hosts, given how close recent clashes between these teams have been.
