Harlequins vs Newcastle Predictions - Harlequins to add more misery upon Newcastle

Harlequins have a commanding lead of 21 victories to 11 against Newcastle, including two draws in 34 meetings. 

Harlequins were edged 12-11 by the Sale Sharks away from home last weekend in their season's opening fixture. 

Harlequins went into the break trailing by a single point after the Sale Sharks kicked over a penalty on the stroke of halftime to lead 9-8. 

Harlequins regained the lead in the 70th minute of the match via a penalty; however, their lead lasted four minutes before the Sale Sharks slotted home the winning penalty. 

Harlequins will fancy their chances to register their first victory of the new season when they host a Newcastle side they have defeated seven successive times and are on a losing streak. 

Hooker Jack Walker scored the only try of the game in the first half against the Sale Sharks last weekend. 

Fullback Leigh Halfpenny kicked over two penalties. 

Newcastle extended their losing streak in the Premiership when they lost their opening fixture of the season 24-3 against the Bristol Bears at home last weekend. 

Newcastle were only trailing 5-3 at halftime against the Bristol Bears before conceding 19 unanswered points in the second leaf, including three tries. 

Newcastle face a tough assignment in turning their fortunes around against Harlequins, as they have lost five consecutive times on their opponent's home turf and every match in the Premiership last season. 

Fly-half Brett Connon scored the only points of the match for his team with a penalty kick after 40 minutes of play.
