The Gallagher Premiership resumes this weekend and on Saturday the Leicester Tigers will play host to the Exeter Chiefs at Welford Road Stadium. The Tigers are in fifth place in the league standings while the Chiefs are ninth after nine games. Check out our match prediction below.
The Leicester Tigers are having a solid season and have a psychological advantage here having beaten this opponent 17-14 in the opening round of this competition this season.
Since then, the Tigers picked up a further four wins and conceded three defeats, while their last match saw them play to a 34-34 draw against Harlequins on December 28 on the road.
The hosts have a mixed record at Welford Road Stadium this season, splitting their six matches three wins and three defeats across all competitions.
Meanwhile, the Exeter Chiefs have struggled this season but ended 2024 on a positive note with a 22-15 victory over Gloucester at Sandy Park last Sunday.
That result brought an end to a dismal eight-game losing streak in the Gallagher Premiership and moved them off the bottom of the table, now two points ahead of Newcastle.
However, the Chiefs have found it tough on the road, currently on a three-match losing streak while they’ve won only two of their eight away games this season.
