Off the back of contrasting results in the opening round, Bath Rugby and Exeter Chiefs meet in Round 2 of the 2026-27 Premiership Rugby season at the Recreation Ground this evening. Exeter Chiefs have dominated recent meetings between the two teams, which is why our prediction supports them.
Bath Rugby began their Premiership Rugby campaign with a win at Harlequins last week. Dan du Preez, Joe Cokanasiga, Santiago Carreras, Dan Frost, and Ewan Richards all scored as the team thumped Harlequins 33–17.
Notably, last week's victory was just the third win in nine matches across all competitions for Bath Rugby dating back to last season, with the other six ending in defeat. The Johann van Graan-led team have also struggled against Exeter Chiefs, losing the last three meetings between the two sides.
Exeter Chiefs suffered a 45–24 home defeat to Gloucester Rugby in their Premiership Rugby opener. However, they come into this clash having won four of their last six matches across all competitions since last season.
That run includes a 27–26 victory over Bath Rugby in the Premiership Rugby semi-final last season – a result that marked their fourth win in five encounters against the Somerset-based club.

Our Bath Rugby vs Exeter RC Chiefs Prediction
Despite being tipped as favorites, Bath Rugby are unlikely to stroll to victory in this evening's matchup. They haven't been convincing across their last nine matches since last season and have struggled in recent meetings with Exeter Chiefs.
Meanwhile, Exeter Chiefs enter this clash off the back of stronger recent form and will be looking to bounce back after last week's opening-round setback. Combined with their superior head-to-head record, our Bath Rugby vs Exeter Chiefs prediction is Exeter Chiefs +15.5 handicap.
