Premiership Predictions

Friday

Harlequins vs Exeter Chiefs (19:45)

Exeter travel to the stoop looking to maintain their 100% record this season, taking on a Quins side who have only registered 3 wins this year but somehow sit 5th. In their last 5 meetings the Chiefs have won all 5 and have an average points total of 42 per game, so all the signs point to a Chiefs win tonight, despite not being at full strength .

Prediction: Exeter by 10

Saturday

Bristol Bears vs Leicester Tigers (13:00)

Both teams come into this off the back of defeats and in mixed form. Bristol last beat Leicester back in 2007, with the next 7 meetings being dominated by the Tigers. With both struggling for form it makes for an intriguing game, but the form book between the two favourites the Tigers.

Prediction: Leicester by 5

Gloucester vs Worcester (15:00)

In their last 5 meetings, Gloucester have won 2, the Warriors also have won 2 with 1 draw between the pair. In the last 7 meetings at the Kingsholm, Gloucester have won their last 7 since a 13-13 draw back in 2007. The hostroy book points to a victory for the Cherry & Whites and with a strong home team named, we side with the history book.

Prediction: Gloucester by 10

Northampton vs Newcastle (15:00)

Both teams have struggled for form this season, with Saints only 5 points above the Falcons, who sit bottom of the Premiership. In thier last 5 meetings in the Premiership, Falcons have gotten the better of the Saints on all 5 occasions. Tough one to call with both teams struggling to hit their stride this season but we'll side with the home side to stop the horrid run against the Falcons.

Prediction: Northampton by 5

Saracens vs Wasps (15:00)

It's the match-up of the weekend in the Premiership. 2nd vs 3rd and a repeat of last years semi final. Wasps have named a strong side welcoming back the majority of their internationals like Elliot Daly and Willie Le Roux, while Saracens have brough back in Itoje and George but there's no Owen Farrell for Saracens. A great game awaits but you'd fancy Saracens to carry on their unbeaten start to the Premiership season.

Prediction: Saracens by 7

Sunday

Bath vs Sale (15:00)

In their last 5 meetings, Bath have come out on top 3 times with the Sharks winning twice. The last time the Sharks beat Bath at the Rec was back in 2014, with a win by the closest of margins, a 12-11 win. This one could be a tight affair but we're going to edge with the home side.

Prediction: Sale by 7
