Bristol Rugby attempt to close the gap between them and the PREM Rugby play-off positions. They are fifth in the table and on Friday are home to local rivals Gloucester who are in eighth position. Read our match prediction below.

The home side are a place and seven points behind the final play-off position. Last week saw them beaten 59-26 at Stade Toulousain in the European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-finals.ar That was their seventh successive league and cup loss.

In PREM Rugby, they have been beaten in their last two games, away at LeicesterTigers and at home to Harlequins. However, the game against Quins was played in Cardiff. ristol have won their five other home league games that were actually played in Bristol.

Gloucester are eighth in the table and that is the final ERCC qualifying position. They are only a point above Harlequins who they beat in their last away league game. That is their only away victory in PREM Rugby this season, the other five games all ending in defeat.

Their most recent match saw them beaten 36-17 at home by Leicester Tigers. Two of their last three games have been lost. The same stat applies to their last three away league games. We tip Bristol to win on a -9.5 handicap.

Our Bristol RC Bears vs Gloucester Rugby Prediction

The Bristol coach believes that this is a must-win match if they are to reach the play-offs. They have lost their last seven games but four were in the PREM Rugby Cup with a weakened line-up fielded. They were no match for Top 14 leaders Stade Toulousain last week.

Gloucester are in with a chance of qualifying for the European Rugby Champions Cup next season. They have only won two of their 12 league games this season, losing the other ten. Our Bristol Rugby v Gloucester Rugby prediction is Bristol Rugby wins on a -9.5 handicap.
