This Group A Premiership Cup Round 7 fixture will see second-placed Exeter Chiefs travel to face bottom-placed Bristol Bears at Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday. Can the Chiefs strengthen their bid to qualify for the semi-final playoffs with a win against Bristol Bears? Here is our prediction.
The Bristol Bears' last Premiership Cup match ended in an eight-point home defeat to Gloucester Rugby. They conceded nine unanswered points in the second half, eventually losing 16–8 in a scrappy contest against the visitors.
That result saw Pat Lam's side suffer their fourth defeat in five Premiership Cup matches this season, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the standings with six points.
Exeter Chiefs won both halves by commanding margins, including a 33–0 second-half shutdown, to demolish third-placed Sale Sharks 59–14 in their last Premiership Cup match.
That result saw them rack up their third win in five games in the competition and leapfrog Sale Sharks to second in the standings with 13 points. They have won two of their last three matches and will look to secure a positive result on Saturday.
