Bristol Bears will host Bath in Premiership Rugby matchday 16 fixture on Saturday at Ashton Gate Stadium. The Bears, fourth in the standings with 47 points, will aim to boost their chances of a top-four finish with a win over the league leaders. Here is our prediction for the match.
With three matches left in the regular season, Bristol Bears top four hopes are in the balance as they head into this match. They are just one point above fifth-placed Gloucester and will need the maximum four points to boost their chances of securing a playoff spot.
However, they will enter this match looking for their first win in four league matches, having lost their last three fixtures in the English top flight. This includes a 48-31 away loss to defending champions Northampton Saints in their last match.
Bath, top of the rankings with 65 points – 14 clear of second-placed Leicester Tigers – have secured their spot in the playoffs. Notably, the Premiership Cup champions will enter this match on the back of an impressive 39-24 win over Edinburgh in their Challenge Cup semi-final cracker.
They have won their last 10 matches, including their last five away fixtures. However, their last nine trips to the Ashton Gate Stadium ended in defeat.

Our Bristol RC Bears vs Bath Rugby Prediction
This is going to be a tricky tie. Bath have enjoyed an absolutely remarkable campaign this season. They have won their last 10 matches across league and cup games, including their last five away fixtures.
However, they have endured a prolonged losing streak against Bristol Bears in their last eight trips to the Ashton Gate Stadium. While they still remain the favorites to win this match given their finer form than Bristol Bears, we expect a difficult tie likely to go either way by a slim single-digit margin. Our Bristol Bears vs Bath Rugby prediction is Bath Rugby +9.5 handicap points.
