Premiership Rugby action continues this Saturday when Bristol Bears welcome Saracens to Ashton Gate in their round five encounter. The Bears are currently top of the league table with 17 points while Sarries are breathing down their neck in second place with 16 points. Let's get into the match prediction.

The Bears were involved in a closely fought encounter last weekend when they took on Exeter, where a 75th-minute try and conversion edged Bristol over the line for the win.

That result would see the Bears record their fourth win from their last five matches in this competition, with a third-round defeat to Gloucester being the only blemish on their record. 

With two consecutive losses now looming above Ashton Gate, Bristol will need to turn their form around if they hope to maintain their top spot by the end of the night.

Meanwhile, the Wolf Pack left London stunned after falling 17-10 at the hands of the Harlequins last weekend.

With that loss, the Fez Boys had their unbeaten run broken in this campaign and saw them fail to move up the table to lead the league.

That form is something they will hope to turn around when they travel to Bristol, as two of their last three away matches have resulted in a loss.
