Reigning champions Saracens will host Exeter Chiefs at the StoneX Stadium in a Premiership Rugby clash on Saturday. A decent season so far has Exeter sitting fourth in the standings with 35 points after 11 rounds while Saracens two places and four points below. Both teams will be looking to secure places in the playoffs with the last slot currently being occupied by Exeter. In their last outing Saracens sealed a place in the Champions Cup Round of 16 with a win over Lyon after finishing fourth. They did it the hard way after overturning a 17-5 deficit at half time aided by a sin bin to Lyon’s Davit Niniashvili. In the Premiership Rugby, Saracens have suffered a slump, winning only two of their last five games. They will however be inspired by their impressive home form that has seen them win three straight games in all competitions.

Exeter Chiefs are coming from a 40-17 defeat to Aviron Bayonnais in the Champions Cup, ending their perfect start. Despite the loss Exeter sealed a place in the Round of 16 and will host the clash after finishing second. In their domestic competition, Exeter have been in commendable form, winning five of their last six games. The defeats have come against league leaders Northampton Saints recently, and Bath who are also above them. Their away form has however been wanting, winning just two of their last five in Premiership Rugby. Their travels to Saracens have also yielded little success as they have lost their last four games.
