Northampton Saints vs Saracens FC Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Steve Ashfield | in Rugby Predictions
Northampton take on Saracens in the first English Premiership play-off semi-final. The winners of this match will face either Bath or Sale Sharks in the final, those two sides play each other on Saturday with Bath the favorites to progress. Northampton finished top of the regular season table but only on points difference from Bath. They also made it to the last four in this season's European Rugby Champions Cup, being beaten by Leinster. The Saints lost two of their final three league games, most recently away at Bath 43-12. The other loss was to Harlequins and again that was an away fixture. This semi-final against Saracens is being played on home soil at Franklin Gardens and they have an impressive record there. In the regular season, Northampton won eight of their nine home games, the only loss being to Bristol last October. Since then, the Northamptonshire side have won 12 home games in a row in all competitions. That includes a 41-30 win over Saracens in March of this year. Their away form may not be so impressive but they won at Saracens last December.
Saracens beat Northampton at this stage in last season's play-offs. That was a home game though and a repeat victory this year looks to be a very difficult task for them. They finished fourth in the regular season, four points behind Northampton. They also lost their last league fixture, going down 20-10 at home to Sale Sharks who are in the other semi-final. In the regular season they won five and lost four of their away fixtures. Their last two games produced wins at Bath and Bristol but the previous three had all ended in defeat. In all competitions they have lost five of their last seven matches. We tip Northampton to win this and reach the final.
