Two clubs in the Prem Rugby play-off positions meet this weekend in a local derby. Bath are third in the table and two points and a place ahead of visitors Bristol. Can Bath get another home win? Read our match prediction.
Bath began the week two points behind leaders Northampton Saints. That's likely to be a wider gap by the time this match begins as the leaders are home to Saracens on Friday evening and expected to win.
The home side have won three of their four league games this season. Their first three league fixtures were all won with an away win at Harlequins and two home victories over Sale Sharks and Gloucester. Last week saw them lose a lead and be beaten at Leicester Tigers.
Bristol are in the final play-off position and have also won three of their four league games this season. Despite that impressive record, Gloucester have had 122 points scored against them, 36 more than their opponents.
Their season began with a 42-24 home win over Leicester Tigers but then they suffered a heavy 50-13 defeat at Saracens. They have bounced back with wins against Exeter and last weekend at Gloucester.
We tip Bath to win on a -18 handicap.
