THE PREDICTION
Reigning Premiership champions Harlequins likely need at least two wins from their remaining four matches of the regular season after coming close to an excellent result on the road with a 32-31 defeat at Northampton Saints last time out. The defeat snapped a six-match winning streak in the league in form they will be desperate to pick back up in the tight end of the season but travelling Gloucester could be a challenge here. However, he visitors lost 15-44 at home to Saracens in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup last time out to make it three defeats from their last four across all competitions and they have lost each of their last four Premiership matches on the road. Backing Quins to cover around -3 seems a sensible concession here all the same.
