My Prediction
Gloucester Rugby by 2Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit, if we don't have a delightful toss-up on our hands with Gloucester Rugby up against Harlequin FC. What an absolute circus!
These two teams have an interesting history that's tailormade for a bit of color-commentary ribbing. In the hot tub time machine where we review their past four games, whether we’re sipping tea in 2023 or feasting on turkey in 2022, the scores have been relatively close - the kind of close usually reserved for overly friendly elevator rides.
Gloucester came out on top twice, while Harlequin toasted victoriously once, and apparently, Madame Defarge wasn't the only one knitting in anxiety the whole time.
Now, let's sneak a peek at their regular-season records; these are as mirror-like as a twin convention with both standing at 3-4. They've basically been playing a twisted game of Leap Frog over the regular season, with each leap landing harder than my cousin Bubba on a kiddie slide.
Harlequin's recent results look like they've been tossed about in a tumble dryer with a pair of steel-capped boots, while Gloucester has arguably been playing a bit more consistently, like a metronome with a mild hiccup.
But hold onto your knickers, because in the grander scheme of the English Premiership race to mediocrity, Gloucester is one turtle head ahead with them rocking the 5th spot as casually as a koala in a tree, compared to Harlequin's more middle ground 7th.
After considering all these spicy nuggets of information, paired with the fact that Gloucester has laser beams attached to their heads... I'm kidding about the laser beams.
Anyhow, our trusty, mathematic magic 8 ball is predicting a Gloucester win, with a margin so narrow it's like threading a needle in an earthquake.
