Northampton Saints bid to remain top of the English Premiership. They host local rivals Leicester Tigers who are seventh in the table and ten points behind them. The Saints lead the table by five points and are nine above fifth. With the top four going into the end-of-season play-offs, Northampton look set to make them but would love to win the main season of which there are only four games remaining. It's going to be an exciting end to the season for them as the Saints are already in the last four of the European Rugby Champions Cup. Home form has been strong all season for Northampton. Six of their seven home league fixtures have been won and in all competitions, the last ten have ended in victory. 13 of their last 14 games have been won and another win looks likely here.

Leicester Tigers are still in with a chance of making it into the end-of-season play-offs. They are only three points behind the final qualifying position but will do well to not see that gap widen this weekend. They beat Northampton at home last November but playing them in their own backyard is a lot more difficult. The Tigers won their last away match but that was at Newcastle Falcons who have lost all their league fixtures this season. Leicester only won that match by six points and that's the only win they have had in their last four matches. We go for Northampton to get the win and lead at both half and full time.
