The battle for Premiership Cup Pool A’s top-two spot comes to a head on Saturday as Exeter Chiefs wrap their campaign playing host to defending champions Bath Rugby. The Chiefs are top of the standings with 23 points, while Bath Rugby are third on 21 points with a game in hand. Here is our prediction for the game.
Exeter Chiefs come into this fixture off the back of four consecutive Premiership Cup victories that have kept them firmly in the race for a semi-final berth. This impressive run includes a thumping 48–14 home victory over second-placed Gloucester Rugby in their last outing.
However, Rob Baxter’s side’s playoff hopes are still in the balance heading into this match as they are level on 23 points with Gloucester Rugby, just two above their opponents, Bath Rugby, who have a game in hand. The Exeter club have lost just one of their 10 home games across all competitions this season, winning nine.
Bath Rugby defeated Bristol Bears 33–24 in their last Premiership Cup outing to rack up their sixth consecutive victory across all competitions and their third on the bounce in the domestic cup competition.
Interestingly, the defending champions lost at home to Exeter Chiefs in their earlier meeting in the competition but have won eight of their last 10 encounters overall. They have also won their last four away matches and each of their last three trips to face the Devon-based outfit.
