It's a big local derby in the English Premiership this season. Second-placed Bristol travel to Gloucester who are fifth in the table and nine points behind them. Can Bristol keep up their title challenge? Here's our match prediction.
Bristol begin the weekend six points behind Bath who are at home to Harlequins this weekend. They won their most recent English Premiership fixture 52-38 at home to Exeter Chiefs who are ninth in the table.
This season has seen Bristol win eight league games and lose the other four. Only one of those league losses have come on the road. Five out of six have been won with a points difference of +81. Their first five games were won before a loss at Saracens.
Only points difference is keeping Gloucester out of the play-off positions. They are behind Harlequins so Gloucester will hope they suffer a heavy loss at leaders Bath this weekend. Gloucester have won four of their six home league games this season.
The first two were lost but they have won the next four, most recently beating Leicester Tigers 38-31. Their most recent league match saw them lose 42-26 at Bath. A high-scoring match looke likely here and we tip Bristol to get the win.

Our Gloucester Rugby vs Bristol RC Bears Prediction
Bristol need to keep on winning if they are to have any chance of catching Bath. They look very likely to qualify for the end-of-season play-offs and their away form is helping them in that respect. They had won all five league games before losing at Saracens in January.
Gloucester are fifth in the table and also in with a good chance of reaching the play-offs. They have struggled in recent matches and still concede far too many points. Our Gloucester Rugby v Bristol prediction is Bristol to win.
