Northampton Saints vs Sale Sharks Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Nella Wagah in Rugby Predictions
A big fight is expected when Northampton Saints host Sale Sharks in Saturday’s blockbuster Premiership Rugby clash. The two sides are neck to neck in the standings, with Sharks in second while Saints are a place below them. As things stand, Sale and Sharks are on course for places in the semi-final playoffs. The Saints are buzzing following a run of five straight victories in all competitions. This impressive run of form has seen them claim wins against Toulon and Glasgow Warriors in the Champions Cup. Saints received an early Christmas present after securing a 31-29 win over Gloucester last time out. An impressive outing for George Furbank will suffice for Saints having won the club’s November Player of the Month. Saints will also be boosted by the return of Ollie Sleightholme who went down injured in the win over Toulon. The bruising Toulon encounter also claimed George Hendy and Tom Seabrook who will face longer spells on the sidelines.
Sharks got back to winning ways last time out against the Saracens to extend their impressive start to the season. Their impeccable season has seen them lose only twice in the Premiership Rugby which is a league record. However, they had a patchy run of form recently with a sequence of wins and losses in their last four. In the Champions Cup, they recorded a win over Stade Français which was followed by the familiar pattern of defeat against Leinster. In the league, the victory over Saracens was preceded by a 36-3 defeat to Harlequin, underscoring their inconsistencies.
