Exeter Chiefs will travel to face Bristol Bears in this Premiership Rugby round three fixture on Friday. Can the Chiefs maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign against the Bears? Here is our prediction for the match.
Bristol Bears kicked off their campaign this term on a promising note, defeating Sale Sharks 24-15 in the Premiership Cup opener. This was followed by two straight wins, including a 42-24 victory over Leicester Tigers in the Premiership Rugby opening fixture.
However, they suffered a defeat the last time out, losing 50-17 to Saracens. Pat Lam's side will look to bounce back to winning ways on Friday. They have won seven of their last eight home dating matches back to last season.
Exeter Chiefs began their campaign on a disappointing note, losing their Premiership Cup opener to Gloucester Rugby. However, the Exeter club have bounced back in their following three fixtures (W2, D1).
This includes a dramatic 33-33 draw against Northampton Saints in Premiership Rugby opener and an impressive 38-15 victory over Newcastle Red Bulls in their last outing. They haven't impressed in their past six away fixtures (W1, D1, L4), but have won three of their last four visits to Bristol Bears.
