Third placed Leicester Tigers are home to defending champions Northampton Saints. The home side are two places above the visitors but the Saints are only a point behind them after three matches. Here's our match prediction for this midlands derby.
Leicester Tigers have made a good start to the new English Premiership season. They have won two of their three games with both the wins coming on the road. They had a narrow win over Exeter Chiefs and last week beat bottom-of-the-table Newcastle Falcons 42-10. Their only loss was at home to Bath who finished second in the table last season. They led that match by five points at the break but the visitors made an excellent second-half comeback to clinch victory.
The TIgers will look to put in another strong first half performance this weekend. Three league games so far have seen them concede just eight points in the first half with 33 scored. Only 44 points have been scored against them this season, the best defensive record in the league.
Northampton Saints are fifth in the table and have also won two of their three matches. The new season saw the defence of their title get off to a poor start with a 38-16 defeat at Bath Rugby. They then beat Exeter Chiefs and Harlequins at home but only by a combined margin of ten points.
The Saints have conceded 91 points in their three matches. Only Newcastle Falcon and Gloucester have seen their opponents score more against them. We tip Leicester to win what should be an exciting match.
