Third-place Leicester Tigers will look to seal their place in the playoffs when they welcome fifth-place Exeter Chiefs to Welford Road in Premiership Rugby Round 17 clash on Sunday. The Tigers have won each of their eight Premiership home matches this season, five of which by double digits. Hence, we are backing the home team for a comfortable victory in our prediction.
Leicester Tigers strengthened their push to qualify for the playoffs with a 47–33 away win against Sale Sharks last time out. That victory marked their seventh win in eight Premiership matches and saw them secure a seven-point cushion in the playoff race with two rounds left.
The Leicester-based outfit will be out to complete the job with another victory on Sunday. They have turned Welford Road into a fortress, winning all their Premiership fixtures at the venue, most of them by dominant margins.
Exeter Chiefs dropped out of the playoff places after suffering a 41–24 defeat to Harlequins last time out. They are still within touching distance of making the playoffs, sitting just two points outside the top four.
However, the Chiefs are likely to struggle in Sunday’s clash. They have lost four of their last five matches across all competitions, including three of their last four Premiership matches. All five of their previous trips to Welford Road to face Leicester Tigers have ended in defeats.
