THE PREDICTION
Edinburgh lost out to travelling Ulster last Saturday in a tight 10-16 defeat at home that snapped a three-match winning streak across all competitions and, more importantly, an unbeaten record here this season. Travelling Wasps look in a good mood to heap further damage on that previously untarnished record after a thrilling 42-42 draw away at London Irish on Sunday made it seven matches unbeaten across all competitions. Each of Wasps’ last 15 matches have seen over 40 points scored and that could be a useful alternative to trying to pick a margin of victory here. Back Wasps to win a match that sees over 40 points in what could be another madcap match.
