Newcastle Falcons vs Caldy Prediction: The Falcons are the better team

The Premiership Rugby Cup encounter between Newcastle Falcons and Caldy will take place at Kingston Park. The two teams will head into this game with confidence as they eye a win. How will this game unfold? Below, I will provide match previews and offer betting opportunities. 

Newcastle Falcons

Newcastle Falcons last encounter was in the Premiership Cup and they won against Doncaster. In an 18-42 encounter, Newcastle Falcons were brilliant in each half, pulling off a 6-21 win in the first half before a 12-21 second half performance. However, prior encounters saw Newcastle Falcons go winless in eight matches, losing to Section Paloise, Dragons, Bath, Harlequins, Northampton Saints, Ospreys, Montpellier, and Bristol Bears. Ahead of this game, Newcastle Falcons come in as the favourite and will hope to get the best result at the end of full time.

Caldy

Caldy are coming off a Premiership Rugby Cup encounter against Sale Sharks and they lost. In a 14-28 encounter, Caldy had a poor start, losing 0-14 as a 14-14 second tie was not enough to see them avoid a defeat. However, Caldy head into this game with just three wins in their last five matches, coming against London Scottish, Nottingham, and Cambridge. Heading into this game, Caldy have lost their last two matches against Newcastle Falcons, ending 66-13 and 12-33. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Newcastle Falcons are just way ahead of Caldy in all areas and I do not see them struggling here. While Caldy are not far from it, I believe they can still be a real challenger in this match. This should be a tight contest, but I do not see the visiting team stopping Newcastle Falcons at home.
