Both of these clubs began the new English Premiership season with a win. After Friday's matches, Leicester are in fifth place, two positions behind their opponents and a point behind them. Read our match prediction.
The Tigers had a good win away at Exeter Chiefs in their opening game of the season. A tight first half saw just three points scored, all by Leicester. They managed to hold onto that lead and eventually won 17-14.
Last season saw them finish eighth in the table. That secured them the final European Rugby Champions Cup qualification place but they were 11 points adrift of the play-offs. They won nine games but lost the same number.
Home form last term saw them win five and lose four. The season didn't end well though on home soil with two of their last three matches ending in defeat.
Bath lost at Leicester last season but were in top form last weekend with a 38-16 home win over Northampton with five tries being scored.
They finished second in the main season last time around and were then beaten by Northampton Saints in the play-off final. Four of their nine away league games were won last season with the last two both being won.
We tip Bath Rugby to get the win here.
