Third-placed Exeter Chiefs bid to maintain their 100 percent home record in PREM Rugby. This Saturday sees them host Bristol who are only a place and a point below them. Time for our match prediction.

Exeter are four points behind leaders Northampton Saints after the first nine league games of the season. Six of their games have been won, one drawn and two lost, most recently away at Bath. A win over Bristol will be an eighth consecutive home victory for Exeter.

Two of their last three home games have been won by at least 30 points. Last weekend saw them lose at Stade Francais Paris in the European Challenge Cup but they have qualified for the last 16. 

Bristol will go ahead of Exeter if they win this match. They have won a couple of away league games this season but lost the same number. Two of their last three league fixtures have been won. Wins at Gloucester and Harlequins saw them score 89 points.

Their last away game produced a thrilling 61-49 win at Bulls in the European Rugby Champions Cup. They had won seven consecutive matchhes before losing at home to Bordeaux last weekend.

We tip Bristol to win this on a +8.5 handicap.
