Fourth-placed Bristol Bears host seventh-placed Sale Sharks in this Premiership Rugby round nine fixture on Friday. The Bears will look to maintain their recent winning momentum against the Sharks. Here is our prediction for the match.
The Bristol Bears defeated the Newcastle Red Bulls at home in their last match to continue their winning ways. They rallied from five points down to edge the visitors by nine points, winning 36–27. The victory extended the Bears’ winning streak to five matches across all competitions.
Pat Lam’s men also head into this match with an impressive 7–0–1 record in their last eight home matches, dating back to last season. This includes a perfect record in their four home league matches this season.
Sale Sharks also secured a comeback victory in their last match, coming from a five-point first-half deficit to thrash the Harlequins 43–17. Marco Bortolami’s charges will be targeting their first back-to-back wins of the season on Friday.
However, they are likely to face a tough challenge against the Bears, having lost four of their last six games. They have also posted a poor 1–0–5 record in their six away fixtures this season in all competitions. This includes defeats in all four of their away league games this season.
