Second-placed Leicester Tigers play host to third-placed Sale Sharks in this high-stakes Premiership Rugby matchday 16 showdown on Friday. With three matches left in the regular season, the two teams will put their bids for semi-final playoff spot on the line heading into this fixture. Can the Tigers defeat the Sharks to strengthen their top-four bid? Follow our prediction for the match below.
Leicester Tigers secured a five-point cushion in the race for a top-four finish following a 40-7 victory over Harlequins in their last match. This result marked their second consecutive league victory after two straight losses.
Notably, Michael Cheika's side have enjoyed a stellar run at home lately, winning five of their last six home matches. However, they struggled against Sale Sharks, losing their last three encounters with the Salford-based outfit.
Sale Sharks will head into this match on the back of an impressive run on the domestic scene. Paul Deacon's side will aim to extend their winning streak in the league to five matches, having won the last four. This includes a 25-7 victory over sixth-placed Saracens in their last match. They have also won their last two away league matches; the most recent of which was a 43-29 away victory over Harlequins.

Our Leicester Tigers vs Sale Sharks Prediction
Leicester Tigers have been impressive at home recently, winning five of their last six matches. However, they will come up against a tall order, facing in-form Sale Sharks. Sale Sharks have won all of their last four league matches, including their last two away fixtures. They also won their last three encounters against Leicester Tigers.
Nevertheless, this match is going to be a difficult tie that could go either way by a slim margin. We expect Sale Sharks to win or lose by not more than five points. Hence, our Leicester Tigers vs Sale Sharks prediction is Sale Sharks +5.5 handicap points.
