Newcastle Falcons vs. Bath: Can Newcastle Catch Up to Their Old Pace?

Newcastle Falcons’ last victory was over Exeter Chiefs 15-14 in November 2021, after which the team has lost 6 consecutive games. The team has had their share of tremendous successes through the Premiership but has gone longest without a win in a while. Newcastle Falcons have a history of regaining their momentum by winning against Bath, and the fans can count on that, but the team will have to rely on their work rather than just the luck to earn a win. In the past 6 head-to-head games, Newcastle Falcons have been victorious 4 times with scores 29-12, 16-8, 19-12, and 20-13, which doesn’t go unnoticed. Focusing on their superiority in the previous face-off with Bath and the recent uninterrupted defeats, the squad will be eager to bring a change to their circumstances.

Bath has lost 3 Premiership games after winning against Harlequins 21-17 and Worcester Warriors 22-19. Before these confidence-boosting and much-needed wins, the team suffered 10 losses in a row. One of Bath’s tremendous victories last year was over Worcester Warriors 47-22. In the past 3 years of Premiership, Bath has opposed Newcastle Falcons 6 times and won twice only, 30-13 and 38-19. Bath needs a few victories to recover from the past losses and improve their overall game. A significant effort is vital in order to put forward a tough fight and gain a win. Recent defeats in hand and a lower stance in the head-to-head show that the coming game might be difficult for Bath. However, their comeback has undoubtedly been outstanding, and they might as well be ready for another one if they set their mind to it.

The teams are currently not in their most excellent form and will be looking forward to changing that. The game can have a pretty unexpected outcome. Still, it is reasonable to predict that Newcastle will win the next round and use it as a source of continuous prominence and a comeback in the Premiership.
