Premiership Rugby matchday 15 fixture will see eighth-placed Northampton Saints host third-placed Bristol Bears on Saturday. Can the Jimmies strengthen their bid for a top-eight finish with a win over the Bears? Follow our prediction for the match below.
Northampton Saints opened a 12-point gap over ninth-placed Exeter Chiefs following a narrow 35-34 win over bottom-placed Newcastle Falcons in their last match. An impressive 28-10 first-half win ensured the Northampton-based side secured victory despite a 24-7 second-half defeat. This result extended their winning streak to three matches, and a win on Saturday could see them seal their place in the top eight.
Notably, Phil Dowson's side have won seven of their last nine home matches. This includes consecutive victories in their last two matches (both 2024-25 Champions Cup knockout fixtures).
Bristol Bears will aim to secure a six-point cushion above fifth-placed Saracens on Saturday. However, they have lost their last two matches. This includes a 36-19 home defeat to Leicester Tigers in their last match. Also, Pat Lam’s side have lost four of their last five away matches. This includes consecutive defeats in their last two trips.
