This clash that sees Leicester Tigers host Saracens looks like being a close affair. Leicester Tigers are seventh in the English Premiership with their opponents two places above them in the table. The Tigers are six points behind Saracens but come into this game in strong form. Their most recent English Premiership fixture saw them get a 35-22 home win over Bath who were top of the table. Their only recent loss has been a 29-10 defeat away at Exeter Chiefs. There's no disgrace in that result as Exeter (second in the league) have won all five of their home games in this season's English Premiership. Leicester have won four of their last five league fixtures and at home have won three and lost two. Their first two home games were both lost but since then they've beaten Northampton (currently top), Newcastle and Bath.

Saracens are only a point and a place adrift of the final play-off position. They are also just three points behind leaders Northampton Saints who are at Exeter this weekend. Saracens have won six of their English Premiership fixtures this season, compared to Leicester's 5-5 record. They most recently beat Newcastle Falcons (yet to win a league game this season) at home and that was a much-needed victory. Their previous two league fixtures had both been lost against Northampton Saints and Sale Sharks. They have won three away games but lost two. Of those league wins, a couple came against the two bottom sides in the table. We tip Leicester Tigers to get the win in this match.
