It will be a cracker as third-placed and defending champions Bath Rugby battle second-placed Exeter Chiefs at the Recreation Ground on Saturday in Premiership Rugby. The two teams, separated by just one point in the standings, could overtake Northampton Saints at the top with a win. Who is likely to carry the day? Read on for our match prediction.

Bath Rugby suffered a shock home defeat to Northampton Saints the last time out. After a pulsating 14–14 first-half draw, they lost grip of proceedings in the second half, ultimately collapsing to a 41–21 defeat against the Saints. That loss ended a five-match winning run at home for the defending champions. 

Despite the recent setback, Johann van Graan’s men remain formidable opposition this season. They have won six of their eight Premiership Rugby games and boast a solid 5–0–2 record in their seven home games this season across competitions. 

Exeter Chiefs saw off Leicester Tigers by 14 points at home on Saturday to continue their impressive start to the season. They won both halves by seven points each to condemn the visitors to a 24–10 defeat. The Premiership title hopefuls are unbeaten in their last six games (W5, D1) and have won their last two away league matches.

Our Bath Rugby vs Exeter RC Chiefs Prediction

The two teams have a lot to play for in Saturday's clash. For Bath Rugby, this match offers an opportunity to bounce back from last week’s defeat to Northampton Saints and to avenge their Premiership Cup round-two loss to the Chiefs at the Recreation Ground in their last meeting. 

However, they will have to punch above their weight to end Exeter Chiefs’ recent unbeaten run. We expect a keenly contested matchup likely to end in either team’s favour, but by a close margin. Our Bath Rugby vs Exeter Chiefs prediction is Exeter Chiefs +11.5 handicap points.

Prediction :

 

Exeter Chiefs +11.5 handicap points
