Sale Sharks vs Exeter RC Chiefs Prediction & Betting Tips - English Premiership Rugby
by Steve Ashfield | in Rugby Predictions
Sale Sharks begin the weekend sixth in the English Premiership and with a 100% home record. They bid to continue their good home form when hosting bottom-of-the-table Exeter Chiefs on Saturday. Can the Chiefs get a first league win of the season? Read our match prediction.
The home side have won four of their seven league games this season. All of those victories have come on home soil, most recently being a 39-25 win over Leicester Tigers who are third in the table.
A New Year's resolution will be to fix their away form. All three league games have been lost this season and 132 points conceded. Improving on the road will boost their play-off hopes with them only five points adrift of the top four.
Exeter Chiefs have lost all seven of their league fixtures this season. Their woes continued in the European Rugby Champions Cup with two defeats in the pool stage. That included losing away at Sharks and then conceding 64 points at home to Stade Toulousain.
There have been some closer away games of late in the English Premiership. Only one of their last eight away English Premiership games have been won and that run includes a 41-5 defeat at Sale last season. We tip Sale to win on a -8.5 points handicap.

Our Sale Sharks vs Exeter RC Chiefs Prediction
Sale Sharks are the Brentford of the English Premiership. They are brilliant at home but just can't stop losing on their travels. This weekend sees them home to Exeter Chiefs who are bottom of the English Premiership after losing all seven of their league games.
The Chiefs did lead at Bath in their last away league game. We expect Sale to win this but not by too wide a margin. Our Sale Sharks v Exeter Chiefs prediction is Sale Sharks to win on a -8.5 points handicap.
