Second placed Bath Rugby are home to Sale Sharks who are sixth in the English Premiership. There's a gap of six points between the two sides after the first five games of the new season. Here's our match prediction.
Bath have won four of their five league fixtures this season. They finished runners-up in the main season last term and were then beaten by Northampton Saints in the play-off final. They got revenge for that loss when beating the Saints 38-16 at home in their opening fixture.
They have won three more away fixtures since then but lost by ten points at home to Bristol in their other home league fixture. Bath will be looking to pile on the points in this game after scoring at least 25 points in each of their last four games.
Sale Sharks have won three and lost two of their league games this season. All of their wins have come at home with both of their away fixtures ending in defeat. They were beaten 45-26 at leaders Saracens and 47-17 at Northampton.
Last season saw Sale Sharks beaten at Bath in the play-off semi-finals and also in the main season. We go for Bath to win this match on a -13.5 points handicap.
