It has been a rollercoaster of a season to date for the Harlequins and they come into the weekend game with Sale Sharks looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat at Northampton Saints after being edged out in a thriller. What will please Quins’ Head Coach Mark Mapletoft is their ability to stay in the game for long periods but he will be frustrated that his side are unable to come out on top when it gets to the nitty-gritty. The Sharks put in their best performance of the season in an eight-try blast at home against Gloucester to put them on the verge of a place in the top half of the table. In rugby union odds, this match has the makings of a tight contest with Sale in confident mood and a Quins side that has the quality to be a contender but is lacking the consistency to get over the line when it’s needed the most.

Harlequins FC vs Sale Sharks Prediction

This match is a very tough one to call with Sale Sharks currently sitting above their opponents in the table and coming off an emphatic home win over Gloucester. Harlequins made a bright start to the season but have lost that consistency in recent weeks and are on the wrong end of some narrow losses. However, with the match being played at the Twickenham Stoop, for our Aviva Premiership rugby tips, we think the match will edge in Quins’ favour, with home advantage always a good indicator in close matches. Looking at both squads on paper, we have the edge just with Harlequins who seem to have more international quality at their disposal, though the loss of influential England star Mike Brown to injury is hampering their efforts. Sale have quality themselves and we expect a close match in a similar vein to last years’ matches that ended with just three points between both teams.

Harlequins FC vs Sale Sharks Betting Tips

Back on their home turf and a much better team when backed by a vocal home crowd, the value is with the home team to win and the 2/5 on offer at Sportingbet is a good price that should be snapped up quickly with odds expected to tumble as the match draws near. Home favourite Danny Care will be able to control the tempo of the match and on paper, the Quins’ squad is full of international class.

The bookies have Harlequins down as a bigger favourite than expected and so, taking the 10/11 on offer at Betfair is one to snap up quickly. They are still very generous to the home side and it’s a good value on offer considering the Quins are a stronger team at home and have generally made the Twickenham Stoop a fortress against opposing teams. Last season’s matches saw two close games but we expect a more decisive winner on this occasion and we are favouring the home team.
