Gloucester Rugby vs Exeter RC Chiefs Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Devesh Jaganath | in Rugby Predictions
Gloucester Rugby will take on Exeter Chiefs at Kingsholm in the Gallagher Premiership on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are ninth in the league standings, while the visitors are seventh. The Cherry and Whites, currently in ninth place, enter the game following a recent defeat last weekend. Their streak of nine consecutive losses from October to January, a club record, has effectively dashed their hopes of playoff contention in this competition, potentially leading to a second consecutive season finishing in the bottom two. Despite their struggles, Gloucester found a silver lining in their last match against Saracens, with Josh Hathaway's second-half hat-trick providing a positive takeaway along with a valuable losing bonus point secured by Seb Blake's late try. Despite their focus on the upcoming Challenge Cup semi-final against Benetton on May 4, director of rugby George Skivington is likely to utilize Sunday's league fixture to fine-tune his squad for the knockout clash. Skivington has made 11 changes to the lineup from their previous defeat against Saracens. Although Gloucester emerged victorious in the last encounter between these teams with a 17-14 scoreline, they are considered the underdogs in the upcoming match.
Exeter is in dire need of an away victory to stay competitive in the race for the playoffs, especially after suffering a 26-14 defeat at home to Bath Rugby in their previous match. This loss has left the Chiefs in seventh place in the standings, trailing fourth-place Bristol Bears by just five points as they approach the upcoming weekend fixtures. Bath avenged their Champions Cup loss against Exeter by dealing a blow to the Chiefs' Premiership playoff aspirations with a victory at Sandy Park. Alfie Barbeary and Ben Spencer propelled Bath to a 14-0 lead at halftime, while a disallowed try by Tom Cairns added to Exeter's woes. Although Olly Woodburn managed to score a try for Exeter, further tries from Max Ojomoh and Miles Reid secured Bath a bonus point. Bath's triumph catapults them to second place in the Premiership standings, reclaiming the spot briefly held by Saracens following their bonus-point victory over Gloucester. Notably, Exeter Chiefs have made a change in their front row, with Marcus Street starting at tighthead, Scott Sio at loosehead, and Jack Yeandle taking the hooker position between them.
