Preview

Worcester recorded just their fifth win of the season over Exeter two weeks ago but still made hard work of it, shipping five tries against a team down to 14 men for more than an hour.

That 35-31 win over the Chiefs proved to be a bit of a favour for Gloucester, who are now just two points behind the Chiefs in the battle for a playoff berth.

And Gloucester, with just one win in their last four, can return to winning ways with a bang at Kingsholm.

The Cherry & Whites have had a tough run, with defeats to Exeter, Leicester and Sale plus a victory over Northampton.

They have a strong team out and their forward power should give them an edge.

Worcester have lost their last three away games by margins of 31, 24 and 20 points and another big loss could be looming.
