Wasps VS Harlequins English Premiership Preview

Ahead of our rugby predictions, after being pipped to the Aviva Premiership title last season by Exeter Chiefs, the free scoring Wasps will be looking to win back their crown and have started the season as they mean to go on with two wins and a bonus point added into the mix to lead the table. They will be hurting after finishing top of the league in the regular season and they will be focused and know they won’t want to have any early slip ups. Harlequins will have an eye on a Heineken Cup spot next season and after a mixed start, they will travel to the Midlands hoping to cause a shock and pick up a crucial but unexpected win over a Wasps side that look to be the team to beat this season.

Key Players to Watch

Experienced New Zealander Jimmy Gopperth has been a consistent force for Wasps since joining from Leinster in 2015 and his accuracy with the boot has been a big factor in Wasps finishing top of the league last term. Former England captain Chris Robshaw remains a key player for the Harlequins and his experience will ensure that he puts the pressure on his side not to drop their standards, which will be key when facing a side with the quality that Wasps have.

Both Teams Recent Form

After last season’s disappointment, Wasps look to have put it behind them and have started the season on fire with two wins, first against Sale that saw them add seven tries in the win, before a more controlled game against Worcester Warriors, where they never looked in trouble. Harlequins started with a poor loss to promoted London Irish but hit back last week to beat a tough Gloucester side.

Wasps VS Harlequins Head-to-Head

It was honour even last season with both teams picking up home wins, with Wasps early season game a comfortable win for the league leaders, whilst the away trip saw an inspired Harlequins side pick up a comfortable win that could have had massive implications for the momentum of Wasps, for which they blew the league title after leading the table in the regular season.

Wasps VS Harlequins Prediction

Since moving to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, Wasps have found themselves a home that many clubs don’t like visiting. And so for our latest Rugby Union betting odds, we think the home side will get their third win on the bounce putting all the other teams on alert that we have a focused Wasps side that are keen to make up for last season’s disappointment. Harlequins are too inconsistent to put a run together for the Aviva Premiership crown with their opening loss to promoted London Irish an indication of their inconsistency. Should they get the win over Wasps it could spark an interesting season for the London-based side.
