Premiership Predictions

Friday

Bristol Bears vs Gloucester, Ashton Gate (19:45)

An interesting West Country derby awaits tonight, with implications at both ends of the table. Bristol, who sit in 11th, can put some daylight between them and bottom of the table Newcastle Falcons with a victory. Meanwhile Gloucester are chasing a spot in the playoffs and a win for them puts a bit of breathing space between the chasing pack and into 3rd. When the pair met back in September, Gloucester were clear 35-13 winners.

Prediction: Gloucester by 10.

Saturday

Bath vs Harlequins, The Rec, (15:00)

The play-off race in the Premiership is hotting up, Bath who sit in 7th are still in the mix and can close the gap on 3rd place Harlequins with victory and boost their chances of a top 4 finish. When these sides met earlier in the season Bath went to The Stoop and put in a great performance winning 37-32 in an entertaining game.

Prediction: Bath by 5

Leicester vs Wasps, Welford Road, (15:00)

Both teams have experienced a tough season and will be hunting a win to try salvage something out of the season.

Prediction: Wasps by 8

Sale Sharks vs Exeter Chiefs, AJ Bell, (15:00)

Sale have come into a good run of form, losing 1 of their last 5 but they face table toppers Exeter who will be looking to keep clear of Saracens.

Prediction: Exeter by 10

Saracens vs Northampton Saints, Allianz Park, (15:00)

Saracens have been hit and miss recently in the Premiership, losing 3 out of their last 5. They face a Saints side who is on the up after a poor start.

Prediction: Saracens by 12.

Newcastle vs Worcester, Kingston Park, (15:00)

Massive game in the relegation battle in the Premiership as the Warriors travel to the Falcons. Newcastle are in serious trouble this season and a defeat on Sunday could make it a step too far for survival. Meanwhile a defeat for Warriors drags Newcastle right back in the race for survival. A very interesting game indeed.

Prediction: Worcester by 3
