THE PREDICTION
In-form Northampton Saints put in a huge performance away at Saracens last timeout to fall to a valiant 42-38 defeat. The Saints have won seven of their last nine matches in their best stretch of form all season long and they have drawn a winnable fixture here to all-but secure a previously unlikely spot in the play-offs. Travelling Newcastle Falcons are ready for the end of the season now after a 5-27 hammering at home by leaders Leicester Tigers made it four-straight defeats across all competitions. If this Saints side can put 38 points past Sarries on the road, they can be backed to cover around -20 at home here.
