Leicester Tigers host Bristol in this top-of-the-table match in PREM Rugby. As the league season resumes, the Tigers are fourth in the table, a place and a point behind the visitors. Read our match prediction below.

Leicester will drop down to fifth and out of the play-offs if Exeter beat Sale on Saturday. The Tigers go into this game looking to make it three successive victories in PREM Rugby after wins over Saracens and Harlequins.

Recent weeks have seen them also going well in the PREM Rugby Cup with five wins.

Home form is their strong point with all five of their league fixtures this season being won this season. That makes it nine in total since their last home defeat in PREM Rugby. Their last league defeat was at Exeter last December.

Bristol will drop out of the play-off positions if both Exeter and Leicester win this weekend. They have won eight of their ten league matches this season, both losses coming on the road.

They have won three away league games this season. Their last two have both been won at Harlequins and Exeter. That made it five successive league victories. We tip Leicester to retain their unbeaten home league record and win on a -7.5 handicap.

Our Leicester Tigers vs Bristol RC Bears Prediction

Leicester Tigers can move up to third in PREM Rugby if they can secure a home win over Bristol. Doing so would maintain their 100 percent home league record this season and make it ten PREM Rugby wins in a row at Welford Road.

Bristol will not be an easy side to beat though with three of their away league matches this season ending in victory. Home advantage really is going to be so important. Our Leicester Tigers v Bristol prediction is Leicester Tigers wins on a -7.5 handicap.
