Bath Rugby host local rivals Bristol in the first of the English Premiership play-off semi-finals. The winners of this match will take on either Leicester Tigers or Sale Sharks in the final. Here's our match prediction.
The home side ended the main season 11 points clear at the top of the table. 14 of their 18 games were won with four losses. They were 14 ahead of Bristol but lost both of their matches against them. Their coach Johann van Graan has told his team that they need to be more disciplined if they want to win the play-offs.
As well as finishing top of the main table, Bath have also won the Premiership Rugby Cup and most recently, the European Challenge Cup. That's a return to form after going 17 years without winning a trophy.
The loss to Bristol last October was the only one of their nine home league games that they failed to win. 134 points have been scored in their last three home league fixtures.
Bristol finished fourth in the main season with ten wins and eight defeats.Their last four away league matches all ended in defeat with 177 points conceded in those losses. We tip Bath to win this on a -8.5 points handicap.
