Northampton Saints travel to face Bristol Bears in Round 2 of the 2026-27 Premiership Rugby season on Saturday at Ashton Gate Stadium. The Saints have suffered defeat on their last five visits to the venue, leading us to back the hosts in our prediction.
Louis Rees-Zammit and Harry Randall both scored twice as Bristol Bears silenced the Salford crowd with a shock 34–24 away victory over Sale Sharks in their Premiership Rugby opener last week. They will be confident of maintaining their winning start as they return home for Saturday's clash.
The Bears have won three of their last four matches at Ashton Gate Stadium across all competitions. They have also won each of their last five meetings with Northampton Saints at the venue.
Northampton Saints began their Premiership Rugby campaign with a staggering 59–26 win over Newcastle Red Bulls. However, that victory came on the back of consecutive defeats in their opening two competitive outings this season in the Premiership Cup.
Additionally, the Saints have lost their last four away matches dating back to last season. They have also lost six of their last eight meetings with Bristol Bears overall.
