Exeter Chiefs begin the weekend only a point adrift of the end-of-season play-offs. They are fifth in the table and are home to Sale Sharks who are in seventh place. Read our match prediction below.
Sale Sharks are 16 points behind the final play-off position. They may need to be more worried about dropping out of the European Rugby Champions Cup qualifying positions as they are only ten points above ninth place.
It's their away league form that has been causing the Sharks problems this season. All five of their away PREM Rugby fixtures have been lost this season with a -92 points difference.
They have lost their last two games against Exeter, losing 59-14 at the Chiefs in January.
Exeter Chiefs have won four of their five home league matches this season with one defeat. They have only had 45 points scored against them in those five home league games. Every other league side has conceded at least double that total.
They will want to boost their play-off hopes with a win this weekend. Their last two league games have both ended in defeat with losses to Bath and Bristol. Exeter have won their last four home matches, all in the Premiership Rugby Cup.
We tip Exeter to win on a -8.5 handicap.
