Gloucester are eighth in the English Premiership and are home to fourth-placed Bath Rugby this Saturday. The home side have been employing a more attacking style this season so we could have a thriiling game. Read our match prediction below.
The home side have won only one of their three matches so far as the new English Premiership season gets underway. That success came in a great match at Bristol Rugby that they won 44-41.
They won the first half of that match by 13 points and just held on after a strong Bristol fightback. Their other two league matches played this season have both ended in losses. They were beaten at home by league leaders Saracens and last week at Sale Sharks.
Only two sides have scored more points than Gloucester in this season's English Premiership. However, with 107 points conceded, they have the worst defensive record but that's the way they play this season with points at both ends.
Bath Rugby finished second in the main table last season and then lost to Northampton Saints in the play-off finals. They have won two of their three league matches this season and begin the weekend five points behind Saracens and two ahead of Gloucester.
Bath have had wins at home to Northampton Saints and away at Leicester Tigers. Their only loss was in their most recent match when losing 36-26 at home to Bristol. We tip Gloucester to win this with a 9.5 points start.
