Seventh-placed Northampton Saints will travel to face ninth-placed Exeter Chiefs in this Premiership Rugby matchday 16 cracker on Sunday. Can the visitors boost their slender hopes of qualifying for the playoffs with a win over their hosts? Here is our prediction for the match.
With three matches left in the regular season, this tie is a dead rubber for Exeter Chiefs. The Chiefs are ninth in the standings with 21 points – 17 points away from Champions Cup qualification places.
However, Rob Baxter's side will aim to put their underwhelming performances behind and stage a formidable display against Northampton Saints to save their pride. They have won three of their last four home league matches by single-digit margins, but have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions. This includes a 79-17 defeat against Gloucester Rugby in their last match.
Northampton Saints’ slender hopes of a playoff finish are on the line heading into this match. They could close the gap on the top four places to five points with a win on Sunday.
Notably, Phil Dowson's side have struggled on the road in the league this season, losing six of their seven away fixtures. However, they have won their last five matches, including an unlikely 37-34 Champions Cup semi-final victory over Leinster in their last match.
