The Exeter Chiefs will face off against the Sale Sharks in the final round of the Gallagher Premiership at Sandy Park on Saturday afternoon. The Chiefs are ninth in the league standings, while the Sharks are third. Let’s get into the match prediction.
It’s been a tough season for the Exeter Chiefs, who will enter the final round already out of Playoff contention and now playing for nothing more than pride.
The Chiefs suffered their 13th defeat of the Premiership season last week, going down 24-22 to the Harlequins. This has been their worst season in the top flight since 2010.
All four of Exeter’s wins this season have come at home, and in their last five matches, with the exception being a slender loss to Bath on April 19.
Meanwhile, Sale are still firmly in the battle for Playoff qualification, currently third in the standings and gunning for a third straight Playoff appearance.
The Sharks enter this match off the back of a 41-27 victory over the Bristol Bears and need two points to guarantee a top-four finish, while a victory could secure a home semi-final.
Sale have won three away games this season, but they have beaten this opponent in two of their last three encounters.
