Bath Rugby vs Northampton Saints Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Devesh Jaganath | in Rugby Predictions
The 2024-25 Gallagher Premiership season kicks off with Bath Rugby hoping to right the wrongs of last season when they host the Northampton Saints this Friday evening at The Recreation Ground. A fierce title battle last season saw both teams finishing level on points where The Saints just managed to edge out Bath Rugby in the final. With both teams looking for a positive start to the season, this match has all the makings of a close encounter. Let's get into the match prediction.
An early red card for Bath seemed to prove to be the turning factor in their last match where they had lost against Northampton, but with only a four point difference between two sides, most would expect another close contest this week.
That result took Bath Rugby to a 50% record in their last 10 matches, with five wins and five losses. Something that they will need to improve if they hope to challenge for the title this year.
On a positive note, Bath will be looking to extend their incredible home form of nine wins out of 10 matches, their only loss being decided by one penalty goal against Saracens.
Meanwhile, a gritty performance saw Northampton claim a slim 25-21 victory over Bath at home on the final day of the season which crowned them champions of the Premiership.
That result also saw the Saints improve their record to seven wins and just three losses across their last 10 matches in all competitions.
However, on the road, the Saints could do with major improvement, having lost each of their last four in a row ahead of this one.

Our Bath Rugby vs Northampton Saints Prediction
Although The Saints had come out the victors the last time these two sides met, it must be noted that Bath were reduced to 14 men and still managed to put up a resilient performance and keep the deficit to only four points.
With that in mind, as well as the dominant home form that Bath has been able to produce at home, we feel that the hosts should be able to send Northampton back to London empty-handed. Our Bath Rugby vs Northampton Saints prediction: Bath Rugby to win!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
