Bath Rugby vs Saracens FC Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Devesh Jaganath | in Rugby Predictions
Bath Rugby and Saracens will lock horns in week 16 of the Gallagher Premiership this Friday. The hosts are currently in second place with 49 points, while the visitors are third and two points behind their opponents. The Rec outfit returned to the venue where they were eliminated from the Champions Cup, seeking redemption and achieved it with a victory in Devon last week. That result added to Bath's strong domestic campaign, maintaining their position in second in the Premiership and positioning them well for a playoff spot. The Chiefs, possibly fatigued from their recent heavy defeat by Toulouse, displayed a lack of their trademark clinical edge and intensity. In contrast, Bath, even without Finn Russell, controlled the game effectively and earned a well-deserved five points. The hosts will be eager to return home after an extended period on the road, aiming to continue their solid home form with seven consecutive wins dating back to October. Despite beating this opponent in their last two encounters, Bath are the marginal underdogs in the upcoming match.
Saracens enter this match buoyed by a convincing 46-24 victory over Gloucester last week, solidifying their position in the top three of the Premiership. Tom Parton made Premiership history with a hat-trick just 25 seconds into the 21st minute, breaking David Strettle’s record set 11 years ago, also for Saracens. However, despite the scoreline indicating a dominant performance, it was evident that Gloucester, too far behind to threaten playoff contention, prioritized the Challenge Cup. They made 11 changes to the side that triumphed over Ospreys in the continental competition quarter-final the previous Friday. Facing a tougher challenge in this match, Saracens will need to halt a six-match losing streak on the road to surpass Bath and claim second place in the standings this week.
